Free Collective Bargaining

I assume when you say are sceptical due to a lack of history then you mean me. However, a lack of Pprune history does not necessarily mean a lack of history in the industry. I fully agree that everyone should be free to choose the union and representation that they wish, as you say a capitalist democracy.

We should though do that on the basis of the facts and that is what I endeavoured to discuss re Lookers post. There was much discussion of the rationale behind the pay deferral prior to Christmas, it certainly has not just seeped out and a pay deferral was imposed across the pilot workforce last April.

I would love to see the payrise reinstated but how would the IPA change the company's position. The BMI Group is not the only airline with pay issues. Are peple suggesting a strike would be the way forward here?
