And if I was motivated solely by money, I wouldn't have changed careers – nobody is suggestion we should all get the same as the CEO.
What angers me – and a lot of other people – is the company's attitude to 'negotiation' (if that's the right word) over everything from pay and the scheduling agreement to smart pensions. Given the spectacular lack of progress on rostering, I find it very difficult to accept assurances that "we are negotiating in good faith." Earlies to lates was a problem well before I joined the company, and I'm sure it will continue to be an issue long after I've gone. Continents move quicker than the company when it comes to improving terms and conditions.
Couple that with the stream of missives from Exeter, patting us on the head for 'going the extra mile' during snow, ash clouds, plagues of frogs etc, and I'm feeling more than a little patronised. The airline relies on an awful lot of goodwill, and mine is being used up very quickly.
