I think Nordicman has just summed it up!!
Some bases are not too bad if you are in the right position, hours ok, money rewarding.
But it doesn't seem consistent across the company.
Also you can't seem to get a deal like that anymore. If you're a captain great. If you move to the left hand seat ( many moving at the moment?) then ok ish.
But the contract guys get a rough deal.
How about the future, bet he deal NM is on wont be around for long!!
How long until this spreads? To the left hand seat or other companies and becomes the norm??
Problem is, ok guys like NM don't seem bothered. I'm alright Jack!!!
Again the every man for himself attitude will lead to an industry wide reduction of standards.
(Ps, I'm not having a personal dig at NM, I'm glad he has a job that suits him well. If only we could all be assured of positions like that these days. U fortunately they are few and far between and we as the workforce have to stand up to the companies who are walking all over our t&c).
