And where do I hang my hat on for the future again?
Once again, they play the low ball offer, give slightly more and think its the best they can do, and lots believe it is and they will look out for your futures.
Unfortunately not. Previous long haul eba's and now this short haul one have been delivered with the 'promise' of something to look forward to in the future.
This one is about trust. Simply, if it's not in the document, about future types or the type of flying, well do you trust their word?
The moment its signed off, they will be working behind the scenes on how they can outsource, reduce and dilute the relevant pilot bodies, and screw everyones collective futures. After all that's all they can do to justify their existence. They produce nothing for the company, revenue wise.
So I'm not concerned about the pay rise, the pay freeze, the offsets, nor the price of Alan's latest failed strategy into Asia, but I'm concerned with what happens to all pilots beyond the life of this currently negotiated eba process.
