Despite our occasional differences, I would generally agree with yeoman. I like my job, I fly the B757/767. Historic Aircraft Flight (ahem!). When we bitch about management, it is generally because,
a We have little else to complain about.
b It's what pilots do.
c Not all management ideas are good.
d We don't really like change.
e Many of us very much disagree with enforced PPY50 and charging new pilots for part of their training.
f We want to aggressively defend pension rights.
Maybe add g Not all Crew Council ideas are great also to add a bit of balance
Apart from that a great post.
