Ishi, well thought through response! Here we are trying to keep 10% of our time off and you want to know if we'll split our $500 per month! Welcome to the world of commercial aviation where management rape us and we try to maintain some kind of middle ground.
When we fight amongst ourselves we; yes lose! The original AJV pilots risked an enormous amount for a small, but significant gain in terms and conditions. If you didn't have the stomach for the fight that's fine, but when terms and conditions are further undermined don't come weeping.
For those of you looking for a new job be aware, terms and conditions have changed here. An immediate reply to this asking 'how to pass the interview' will demonstrate a moronic inability to interpret information being presented in a fairly forthright manner.
I hope that IAC, PARC and HACS will all post here to explain how they defended their contractors terms and conditions, but don't hold your breath.They have deserted their employees in the same way that Ethics escaped Goldman Sachs!
