This is difficult as who are the ones wanting to fight to change it?
Obviously not the company as they are saving money.
Not CTC as they are making money out of it.
Not the Wannabees as without this opportunity they wouldn't get straight onto a jet flying for a large airline.
Arguably the flexicrew can't (shouldn't) as they agreed (knew) the contract when they signed up.
Difficult for Balpa as they don't represent them.
Unfair to ask existing employees because the company would want something in return from them.
I guess HMRC want the change as they want more tax and less avoidance schemes.
Qualified/experienced pilots wanting to join the airline, but on permanent contracts would be the ones to gain most if this practice was to be stopped.
And that's where we should have been in the first place with a smooth progression through the aviation industry.
