Strangely, I don`t see a similar thread up in the R&N or the T&C sections... There is one about the 787 Rishworth contract up there, though that one is of importance as well (further outsourcing of crew from Europe), this one is ever more important. Most of us have got their backs on this one, and it really is about stopping the race to the bottom. We all learned to fly together, we all made the same mistakes, we all drank beer at the same bar and had some good times. Then, seeking employment, some were more fortunate than others, but we`re still the same though our uniforms are different. Let`s not help management worsen the conditions so that our future colleagues will be after our hides rather than having our backs when push comes to shove and the collective middle finger is raised.
