What will YOU do to protect your pay and conditions?
Each and every one of us must resolve to take some form of personal action to protect their pay and conditions. That action must be focused and targeted on the holiday season. What will YOU do?

CR. I personally know of three trainers who will be resigning with any confirmed cuts to their housing or pension. Two of them are ready to leave the company altogether. Fact, not speculation. Several STC's and TC's have resigned lately, and there are more to follow. I will not personally play a part in the company's plans if they attack us directly (so far there is no attack, only threats). If a contract is imposed, count out one more STC. There are many others i'm sure who will not help the CX after they have attacked their very own housing pay and conditions. Have faith. Incidentally , the main point was what actions are individuals planning on taking over the holidays. The weather is awfully cold, and lung issues become a big problem. Can't fly with the flue or a head cold.

It's obvious the company wants additional and permanent concessions. Who in their right mind would sign a new CoS with such excessive concessions. Reduced housing with severe cuts to our CoS, why bother?

I vaguely remember the name Tony Tyler, and 42 - or however many CX pilots it was - he necked in one hit the last time the pilots contemplated some collective action on the Industrial front. Unfortunately if history is any indicator, pilots who aren't happy with their employment agreement as offered, it's better to vote individually with your feet and find a better deal elsewhere, and leave on favourable terms at a time of their own choosing, rather than taking some collective action in the hope of scoring a better deal and risk being added to the list of names who ceased to be employed at a time and in circumstances not of their own choosing.
Like I said, vague memory...42 or 49, it was a big number to get the chop yet the operation kept on going. Doesn't change the point I was making. And thanks for refreshing my memory on that.

I have little respect and absolutely no sympathy for the barbies and spikey hair pretty boys who now populate the flight deck and AOA. Most wet behind the ears, zero aviation or life experience and clinging to the protection afforded them by the senior pilots in the company. Your futures are evapourating in front of your eyes and yet you do nothing. NOTHING. Phone home and ask mummy what to do .

If this isn't the pot talking to the kettle I don't know what is.
The new generation is there because the generations before them did absolutely nothing to stop the degradation.

The new (el cheapo) generation is also there because some of the old generation are voluntarily training them.

Ah, so your mummy told you to say that did she !
Honestly, look around you when you go to work next. There are the real pilots and then there is the kindergarden brigade.
Unfortunately for you, other airlines will recruit the real pilots first leaving you lot having to wipe your own backsides for the first time. Good luck with that.
You could of course run back to mummy again.
