Spoilt Brat Syndrome
Yes I agree the pole of votes are from again an anonymous internet forum but it still represents a point of view from fellow aviators.
27.97 % Think the ban is fair
44.92% Think the ban is only fair if an up-grade ban is included
27.12% Think the ban is unfair
Anonymous or not it is still n expression of peoples views and it clearly shows how “people” in general are feeling. From this forum and from the pole it shows that "because" upgrades were taken, the ban is clearly thought of as being un-fair.
I agree whole heartedly with this.
Speaking with some friends at CX again the majority do not have a problem with second officers, again and again and again because it is generally seen by fellow aviators abroad as being unfair.
All the excuses in the world from die hard unionists will not dissolve this in the eye’s of the general aviation community. The old union sayings go “united we stand divided we fall”. Again let me express , no body stood tall , you’re already divided and in this case you are going to fall.
These last minute dibs trying to scare off young blokes wont work , and unless you do something to get them on-side in the near future , you really will be a weak and divided group of people with conflicting bargaining ability.
Wake up and respect the fact that this time guys you’ve stuffed it up, you got it wrong the world see’s you all as hypocrites – get the new guys on side , vote the new president in and work as a team, start on a new drawing board with a fresh set of mature tactics.
Not only are you shooting yourselves in the foot but you’re making life at work and around your friends and families very miserable , childish and boring. Acting like a spoilt brat throwing a tantrum isn’t going to get you what you want.
Some times in life you just have to start a fresh , now’s a good time to do it after the elections.
