Regardless of the shortsighted and naive actions of a group a decade ago, of which I was not a member, that doesn't justify the management deliberately breaking up families with their basing policy, and nor does it justify an uninformed pillock like beachbum slagging off the pilots for "allowing it". RYR have and continue to use every maneouver to block any unionisation or representation so that they can continue to dictate unfair terms and conditions, create unreasonable contracts and break them at their whim with no come back. The pilots have been trying to get some traction going, but BALPA miscalculated a while back and now are too scared to support the RPG, the chap that tried to start a competitor to Brookfield to recruit volunteers on better terms got publicly fired for challenging the status quo and countless other examples have been made. It's easy to fight management when you have representation and a strong union with deep pockets, but when the authorities of a backwards nation collude with the employer to block these basic rights, then it's "their way or the highway". Hence the massive resignation rate.
