How easily it seems everyone has rolled over to let JF and his boy tickle your tums. The directors and managers must be laughing their heads off right now. Minimal cost to avoid IA, they're still on track to make massive bonuses (read the accounts to see just how much), and you lot are voting yes to what amounts to a real terms 0.5% pay rise.
What's that in your pocket every month? Less than £10 for most FOs. Oh, and a vague promise to stand you down from standby. Maybe. If you're lucky. How many crews have bitched over the last umpteen pages about how hard they work, with no standby duties left uncalled? Really think it's going to get better?
Mugs.
