Well, if better opportunities were available, you have to ask whether the soon to be made redundant pilots would still come given that some job is better than none. If, however, there still are better opportunities, is there anything to stop the current Italian complainants you've flown with leaving for pastures new? I think not.
We will get nothing on our pay this year and the posts of resentment will increase dramatically on Thursday. Many will state they've had enough, time to leave, CV's being sent.
Most of those will post the same statements next year too.
