It is amazing we are still arguing about whose fault the current T&C's are along with the nature of those individuals who took on this enormous debt. We can all agree to disagree on various issues around these points but the key is there will never be a shortage of people willing to join the SSTR. FR is a company that anyone joins or should join with their eyes fully open and a clear goal in mind. Whatever your opinions about your treatment you cannot complain having signed up to it. But you can have a plan to do something about it, like many are. I personally have a good friend who did the SSTR thing and spent 3 years in FR before moving to Emirates on the 777. I would say that it worked out for him perfectly. He got what he needed from FR and had an exit strategy which he followed through. Now he can relax in a company he wanted to be in and reap the rewards. Of course this is not for everyone but one example of using the system.
And yes no matter where we are we will always complain about something as was alluded to earlier it is our nature. Combine that with experience and a little perspective and, at least some of, the complaining should slowly subside. For everyone complaining remember all those made unemployed during the recession with no severance of any kind. Now complain about your pay and multi sector days!!!! Many would bite you arm off to be where you are!
WHOOOOOOOOSAAAAAAAAH!
