h3dxb,
Although stated in relatively poor english - I think your message comes across quite clear and very strong.

In UK engineers have always been "every man for himself" instead of "united" like cabin and cockpit crew mostly are. However. Unwritten terms and conditions for UK engineers don't exactly lend themselves to being militant and meek complaints don't make much noise when money talks.

There is an expectation in UK that engineers won't let the operators down and that they all make do with their lot. This happens to a certain extent - and then, all of a sudden, some engineers leave for better pay/conditions or perhaps for a perceived better treatment by bosses!

It may sound ludicrous but, for most, it works. (but we're still not quire sure how?)
