Another view is that when I first set out in aviation, Atlantic Barons only flew twice a month, were paid the equivalent of £250,000 a year, and retired on full final salary pensions. I don't recall anyone ever asking them to take a pay cut or to take industrial action so that my T&C's wouldn't be worse than theirs.
I wish the posters who blame everything on those who have full-time contracts would take the time to explain exactly how we are supposed to save new entrants from themselves? If we take a pay-cut, the company makes more money. Take industrial action? What forklifting planet do you live on!!!!
Anyway, off for another refreshing duty
