However even if the CEO's are seen to 'relent' on this major issue of offshoring, there will inevitably be repeated attacks on various elements of your livelihoods over the coming years. Less $ in your pockets means more in theirs.
The only way to counter such sustained attacks is to once and for all combine to create a unified pilot body. Whilst conceivably there would be different interest groups within that body (GA, regionals, short-haul, J* subcommittees etc) it is imperative that Professional Pilots operate under ONE umbrella group. Intelligent, tactically coherent and politically savvy skills are needed for success and this can only be achieved together.
