I don't think any of the responders to my post actually have the savvy to understand what I was saying. It was all you "get my arse on the RHS no matter the cost" guys that have got the situation to what it is now. You bent over with your pants at your ankles then and never complained and you're doing the same now. Trust me, if everyone had stood up and said at the time, "no I'm not paying for a TR", things would be better now. That was the start of the slippery slope. Maybe they would not be as big an airline as they are now but would this be a bad thing?
So you bent over and said nothing the first time and paid for the TR so management have no reason to believe you won't bend over and say nothing again. Talk of a strike in FR is just claptrap, no one is big enough to stand up to them. You started this mess so stop complaining, nobody forced you to pay for the TR so shut up and lie in the horrible little bed you all made for yourself yet strenuously deny "it's not my fault it was my only option", guys it was so definitely "your own fault"!!!!!!
Wrong stuff, you may have a shed load of high quality hours now but you are not or appear not to be happy in your current role, do you really think it's going to be better T&C's in other airlines, most airlines have jumped on the FR bandwagon now unfortunately.
