Transition Layer,
Fair point, but other employee groups are taking the 18 month freeze. Sure the engineers had theirs offset by the re employment of 65 of their colleagues, but a lot of other employee groups will be subject to the 18 month freeze with very few if, any offsets. And they will vote theirs up and get on with the job. We can't say we should be exempt from it just because we're pilots. So I'll say it again, the offsets are incredibly minor, aren't worth getting worked up about and certainly aren't worth risking PIA or further outsourcing of flying for.
Some would say unreasonable demands about job security and scope clauses will ironically have the opposite effect and only make management seek to maximise outsourcing to pilot groups that don't have their heads in the clouds
Voting NO and NO over again could have unintended consequences......
