What happens if aircrew get together and refuse to accept the pensions changes, instead requiring an immediate termination of contract sans the 12 month 25% flying pay cut?
Its going to look pretty bad when it turns out they are forcing through major terms to our terms and conditions without an immediate option to leave (or option to refuse changes and thus terminate)? It certainly is going to put the cat amongst the pigeons. If my IPP goes or I get taxed on my (reduced) gratuity, sorry, but I am off. And so are a significant number of others serving on the front line. Lets see how quickly they can get the bean counters flying aircraft shall we?
Or, are the pensions changes worth the roughly 3-5 million it costs to train us?
