I thank the previous two posters for seeing the "bigger picture".
To characterise us as a bunch of pirates/buccaneers , there for the quick buck, is disingenious.
I doubt if many of us would be less than delighted if you won, and somewhere along the way we finished on the same T's & C's as existing employees.
As I said, how much we can help. . . . that is limited, but I am quite certain I , & I think most, will do our best to avoid hindering the cause, within what is contractually possible.
I can promise no more, but we are - finally - in the same boat as you, in this profession.
I should draw your attention to the link in post #5 in the thread "Taxman after Ryanair in Italy" in Terms & Endearment.
Food for thought for your Union.
