ITLBEFINE HAS A POINT
As civil aviation is becomes more and more controlled by accountants ( lap dogs of major shareholders) it is obvious to those of us at the coal face of the industry that saftey will be compromised at some stage.
I feel that it is high time the unions/associations representing ATC, Engineers, & Flight Crew worked towards forming an 'Aviation Union/Association' which had the industry at heart and strived to get Safety to the top of the agenda.
Personally I would like to see anyone employed at the cutting edge of UK Aviation- WELL PAID-WELL RESTED- MOTIVATED & EQUIPPED WITH STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY befitting one of the richest countries in the World.
Additionally a major benefit of having a single organisation would be to sideline the issue of secondary industrial action as we would all be part of the same team and able to fight several corners!
