Hi Company Message
My ire wasn't directed at those who do not take up the offer for genuine reasons of which there are many as it will suit some (me) but not others. It was directed at those who seem to think causing even greater disruption by deliberate non co-operation will somehow make things better. It will not.
I currently loath our management for the reasons you highlight and more but it is vital we keep a sense of perspective in all this and I think that was what NSF was driving at and I agree with him.
Over the next 2 years I will be something like 30k plus better off tax free due to various share schemes and options that the company have introduced. I got a quick command and 2 type ratings. The you at work scheme saves me 1000+ off child care and I get to see my family every day. So yes you are right it is not all great but it is not all bad either.
We need to get behind BALPA and ensure we fight through them as a united group not as fractured individuals and we need to ensure that we do not take our frustrations out on our passengers.
