Birdstrike737 No probs at all earlier
windcheck the problem so far is that these deals are always signed on your own without any bargaining power on a take it or leave it basis. Itīs you vs. the world. It becomes a real problem if the airline or whomever else is doing the same thing is determined to reduce the terms year after year as there is nothing you can do to prevent the decline. On top of that no complaining which in combination with the above can become a bit masochistic really
Now it looks like the pilots have decided they want to reverse that trend and improve the outlook, all in one go by creating this new agency taking back control of their own labor. Instead of using intermediaries that have failed to keep the pilots interests in mind for a very long time. I think the idea is great also and fail to see why it should be considered ridiculous to improve your own working environment. I think everybody should give credit to them instead for doing this and supoort them since they deserve all the support they can get.
