Icarus, I'll give you one example, it will suffice for the moment. Plenty of promises made for an early wrap up of the EBA. Lots of mouth movement at the time, very little now. To put it simply, the company wants to benchmark our performance with QF. That is plain. Fair enough. However, as far as remuneration and lifestyle is concerned, they obviously use TT and JQ as the benchmark. We're not so stupid as to think QF money is on offer. That isn't, and isn't the point. But going backwards in terms of money and lifestyle is hardly acceptable either. Completely at odds with the "Lip service" paid to the crews early on. Providing a new uniform and saying "We respect what you do", doesn't pay the mortgage or feed the kids. There's the respect element covered.
