The company appear to wish to give us the best T & Cs the business model will allow
and there is the problem then. The company would have us believe business model depends on paying the meanest salaries and terms and conditions in the industry. If we want a humane roster pattern we must pay for it, end of. It does not matter what jam tomorrow commitments may have been made in the past how profitable we are/become, or how hard we work. The foot stays on our collective throat on principle.
Drum machine we all choose who's propaganda to believe, and you have every right to believe the Company's line on Balpa being the stubborn obstacle to the company's benevolence. I don't, and neither do most people I fly with.
Interesting times ahead.
