Sorry D4VE, but I also felt that your post was very much 'look at me and my lovely new cosy position while you all rot,' and less 'having a pop at your previous employer.' Good to see you have taken it down.
I am totally behind the CC. However I'm not about to spout the same old vapid flannel that some enjoy so much (see balpa forums) about 'doing a great job so far' etc etc. This has dragged on way way way too long and whether this has been a 'tactic' of either side I know and care not. After my last couple of months of being messed about by the company I'm ready to make my decision on IA. In fact I think I subconsciously made that decision months ago.
If there's any negotiation left to do, perhaps it should be; here's what the membership want, do you want your planes in the air next week?
Rant over. For now.
