When an employer in UK aviation which has a reputation for providing better than the average T&Cs turns round and bites an employee group and there is an understandable adverse reaction, it is always baffling that far from support from fellow aviation professionals a common reaction is "you're not getting as stuffed as some so just assume the position and take what's coming to you". Would you lot not be happy until everyone in our industry is treated like 18th century navvies? Why?
Why is it that some people think that we should all strive for the lowest common denominator? Why is it that some people think that a company cannot be profitable and look after its people too? Why is there often thinly veiled satisfaction at seeing another group being kicked, just because your own group might have been kicked before and harder too?
If you cannot extracate yourselves from this pathetic playground attitude then you will be partly responsible for a downward spiral in the rewards of engaging in this career - we should all try to support those who get the sh1tty end of the stick, and we should all see that some will be treated better than others and that we should support that to raise the bar for everyone else too.
