I do have to say that I disagree with your final statement there george. I don't agree with syntax, precisely because I feel that if you are a first officer on an A320 you should behave like one. That means read your contract, understand what it is and make a decision.
Don't choose something and then in retrospect blame the company on the internet for giving you exactly what they promised to give you. (regardless whether I agree or not if our salaries are adequate for the work we do)
However, I completely do not subscribe to the notion that someone now has a 'bad reputation' for voicing their opinion, even publicly, about our levels of remuneration. We do not live in cold-war socialist times. The man has an opinion and is free to voice it, within the constraints of the law. As long as what he is saying remins truthful and not slanderous, I do not see a single issue with him voicing his opinion on whatever is going on.
If somehow that would affect his career in this company in a negative way or his relationship with his colleagues, I would honestly find that very sad. I also know who he is, but I do not pretend to know him nor do I find it relevant for this discussion.
But that's just my two cents worth. ;-)
