404 Titan,

As I have said before I have no problem with cadets getting housing but it will not be at my expense.
If you can’t see that the company is trying to split the pilot body down expat/lep lines by spreading this nonsensical rumoured proposal then there is no hope for us.
LMAO Trust me you are doing a much better job at splitting the pilot body than management, and if you can't see that then maybe the one with myopia is yourself. Regardless, thanks for the laugh!

We should be striving for full expat terms for cadets, rather than expecting expats to accept lower conditions of service
Great at least we agree on one thing!!! However, how far will you go to achieve the above, will you strike over it, will you put your job on the line over it??

as far as I'm concerned it is not negotiable.
Problem is I've been here long enough to know nonsense being spread by people pretending they are militant but buckling and abandoning their mates on the 11th hour.

Harbour,

I believe if we are to protect our conditions as a pilot body we need to raise everyones (Expats, LEP's, iCadets) entitlements, not reduce them.
Not once have I said that I would prefer seeing a reduction in CoS over an improvement to all. But lets be realistic, the majority of the pilot body abandoned 51 pilots after they were unfairly dismissed. What makes you think they are going to fight for LEP/Cadets.

As I've said before, the company CANNOT keep the current terms because IT IS discriminatory, just like forcing individuals to retire at 55 was discriminatory. Hence the CoS08 offer. The company beat any potential lawsuit with it eventhough it was a reduction in conditions (A scales being reduced to B scales, NO BPP), but how many declined????
