IFALPA
IFALPA anyone? like with IATA for tickets and codeshares, the airlines should all negotiate hourly rates and benefits for the amount of pilots to be hired directly with IFALPA, and not divide and conquer us by offering carrots and sticks, all different t and c to any one of us. There should be a international contract with T and C for any pilot with 200, 1000, 3000 and 5000 hours, SIC, PIC, LTC, TRI and TRE. Regardless of the moment of the year, the desperadness of the pilots and the color of their skin!
This is not only valid for aviation actually, all the world should go towards a real globalization, that is not only a free movement of money for the rich, but also a free spreading of RIGHTS for everyone else.
When the market is out of control and runs to the bottom, the morals and rights have to be forced and written in stone, that those will become the norm and the people will adapt, just when we adapt to the bottom we can adapt to something better and more sustainable again.
It is not too late, at all.
