Well said Widebdy!
You forgot about the bit where they
you off downroute somewhere where you have to find yer own way, accommodation, transport, food after you've followed a set of rules just to jumpseat which if abused our "privledge" will be withdrawn!!! Hang on, privilege?? You mean necessity!!! Do they expect us to drive?? Its so hard to explain how big a bunch of
they are in the higher echelons!
I do feel tho that all the talk about the FR guys having balls etc to stand up for themselves is a little harsh, its appears a lot on here, you sound like you've been there so should understand, its not that they wont stand up for themselves, they just don't have the means to!! It would be the same in any airline, with no union what are we supposed to do?? Stick yer head above the pulpit and you'll get shot!! People have mortgages to pay, its too risky, get a union involved or a majority body like NAS and anyone would happily stand up for their rights because you have the protection you need! FR boys going to NAS wont dilute the power to fight that is certain, we have been longing for that ability for years, they will relish in it!! They will jus have to ignore all the little details that make NAS 100 times better than FR and get over the novelty of how nice it is compared to what they're used to and think things are great in NAS so no need to fight! I cant see that happening though! The fact they have grew balls n
off from FR shows they do value their career and have took steps to better it, its just that until that at
the top or FR leaves its a lost cause!!! Just sayin
