Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one. It will ramp up again in two years but with a lot more militant guys in the left seat. Settle the issues now and everybody will get on with life. But believe me it is far from over. Patience's my friend.
Remember we are all pilots and want a contract. I does not matter what is in it, but we want a contract. We can't live on a 3-month rolling contract. We need something on paper where we can plan our lives. I don't think that is too much to ask.
I would like to buy a house and have a secure income two-five years down the road so I know I will make the payments. Yes I know you think we are all paid too much, but you get what you pay for.
Don't get me wrong, CX can be a great company to work for, BUT for very little money/rostering it can be great. I myself have a lot of ideas that will help out the company and cost nothing which will improve rosters and help the company with productivity.
Hey I don't mind working (I worked a hell of a lot harder not doing Pilot jobs), but when you put me to work, do it efficiently. I have a life too. I don't mind working hard.
You are so anti pilot, I wonder if you are a pilot (or an accountant).
Help your employees and they will do a hell of a lot of work for you.
IMHO of course.
