Such a shame. As expected our beloved management play the 'take the money and run because you're tired of arguing' card.
I now fully despair of this company.
A few really strongly worded posts here. One can only hope that this is true representation of the depth of feeling of FOs and Captains alike. Otherwise we may as well bend over Jim's desk right now.
I have the most sickening feeling that this will appease a lot of the more 'senior bods' on half decent salaries, without training loans.
'hurrah, we have our leave protection back. Everyone else can go hang.'
Although I seriously hope I'm wrong.
