Left Coaster - I agree with all the comments, including yours, on the inappropriate use of the term C. camp.
But taking that position and lumping it into 'it's just a job...shut up and do it' is deeply flawed. (And an insult to the gravitas of the former debate)
Many of us came here contingent upon the T&Cs we were presented with during recruitment.
We had/have an expectation that if our company is healthy and profitable that we would maintain or QOL.
The co. is enormously profitable, thanks in no small part, to the hard work of its employees. But in the face of this our position both financially & personally (health, family time off etc) has deteriorated considerably.
We as a pilot group do not want the QOL to decrease even more - by moving into Accomodation that is inferior to our present set-up. That is not just a material issue - it's also emotional ie kids attachment to their friends, their rooms etc etc.
By taking the position you have - you undermine our legitimate concerns and underscore to the mgt - that in fact you are right - we should just 'shut up' and take what's given.
As long as your attitude holds steady in their eyes - the erosion will continue.
Don't undersell your career as a professional pilot with the 'it's just a job' slant - it's an affront to hear a fellow pilot describe it that way. Many of us have taken over ten years of studying, Checking, interviews, university and flawless flying records just to get a chance to interview for the LHS at this company....only to know that those amongst us too easily forget what a bumpy road that can be.
What a pity.
