This will rear its head again. As will the same kinds of arguments about T&C's in many other airlines. The gradual erroding of T&C's will continue due to the fact that pilots only complain when it directly affects them or only within their particular airline.

It starts at the bottom with the whole P2F thing which has made a joke of the FO's position. Whilst captains and senior FO's with their 000'sof hours just turned a blind eye to it because it didnt affect them. Well it is slowly moving up the chain. What next? 0 - captain for £500,000?

The fact that the general public have such a high opinion of pilots is the reason it is not a minimum wage job yet. That will soon change if its allowed to carry on.

Pilots from all airlines and all levels should be united against this cancer that is slowly deteriorating and making a mockery of the whole proffession. Its time BALPA stepped in.
