You seem to be all over it little bird but there is a storey to go with why some of those checkers went to link but I won't blow the lid on that one. Again the 10% i personally voted no as we gave up a lot for that, look how much crap it is causing for pilots and even more for the company I'd almost think think the company even regrets it also, but I guess veryone got shinny jet syndrome tripping over them selfs thinking they would be on one right away. For the company to be able to move forward they need to be able to employ drivers (amongst other things) without having to consult everyone which is costly and time consuming. There seems a lot of ppl here who want VA to fail, I'm not worried, I'll just keep turning up doing the job, as you say "she'll be right mate"
