Don't you guys have any sort of scope clause in your contracts? I can't believe the Norwegian pilots are letting management outsource their long haul flying. The place should be shutdown by the pilots. Let management choke on their herrings.
You really think Rishworth would ban a pilot because he would not work for crap wages? You don't know contractors. They will put forth any warm body that will take their contracts. They will forget about you anyway, as soon as you are in place.
