Possibly a good opportunity. If we dont all rush in and apply therebye giving them a " pool " seeing how many they can get therebye driving the contract down even more . A simple technique used by recruiters/airlines.
Ifhowever they see they cannot get the experience the contract T&C,s will just continue to go up ( as what happened with the 747 contract).
So hold off on those apps boys and girls ( just for once lets try play this one right).
Alas I am a dreamer to think there is any such unity left amongst the pilot fraternity. We alone are responsible for the continous downgrade of this profession. ( ok and the bean counters)
