Management across the board hasn't really started with captain Ts&Cs yet...
Help me out with this one, then.
There is a basic labour law in EU that when 2 people are on same contract doing same job one can not be treated 'less favourably' than the other.
In some airlines i have been told that new upgraded captains are paid 10% less in their first year than other captains. Their contracts are the same; there is no seniority pay scale; there is no probation period; there are no extra tests at the end of one year. i.e. in their 1st year as a captain they are treated less favourably than their colleagues. How did that happen? Am I mis-informed? And please don't tell me this happens as well as having to pay for all expenses while jumping through the command course hoops.
If true, the captains' T's & C's are under attack already. Wait until the majors try to dilute seniority scales. The manure will hit the air-conditioning in a very smelly manner. But they will try.
