The real issue with NLH and NAS is that outside of the Scandi Countries the Pilots are just a resource, never have been, and never will be, close to the mothership.
And one wonders why?
Astonishing short-sightedness.
But the majority accept this and just want to get on with their work, get paid and go home...
I'd hazard a guess, the majority would like an Employer that treats them with a modicum of respect...or, since they're constantly bleating on about it, a contract that at least matches an Easyjet contract. Why is it that, in this industry we put up with behaviour that would be an anathema in so many other sectors of industry?
And if your 1% gets you a 2% pay-rise, pension contributions etc etc you're already quids in....
Its a good job some folk in NAS/NAI/NAR (whatever it is this day of the week) still believe in trying to push water uphill for the sake of the common good....
