Airwaya457
I don't think you were present at the meeting!!!
Ironbutt57 was right, it was indeed enlighting.
More than 45 pilots and/or their wifes were present and a rep. of the GATU as well.
Before the meeting the pilots were only individuals, stuck with this VBA issue, now there is a group of solidary colleagues.
An e-mail network has been set up where information to and from pilots is distributed.
And last but not least, the Union is now aware of the problems the 767 pilots have to face, and are working on this now as well.
Don't underestimate their legal powers.
Times are changing....
And if GF thinks that pilots won't run away, and they can easily hire new ones, I wound't bet on it.
The reputation of this region is not wel known amongst the expats, and now after this sad Saudi bombing.....
Management should be happy with their guys now.
Most of the 767 pilots have shown their commitment to the company for many years now and the least you would expect is respect.
People are realy getting fed up.
Noting your statement that the proposal offered to the pilots is an avarage deal, I can only conclude that you are or a person with a comfortable management position, or somebody who does not know much about this problem!
