AA gear puller

I have never seen the Air France pilot contract but I bet it's a whole lot cushier than any of ours in the states. This is mostly due to a labor friendly environment where workers can stand up to management when they feel they need to.
One of the things I'm hoping for under the new administration is a whole sale rewrite or outright elimination of the Rail Way Labor Act. It is flagrantly anti labor and have kept our hands tied for decades. Without it most of us would still have pensions, pay and work rules because management would KNOW that it would cost them more to take a strike than to leave the pensions intakt. Hey. It's my dream and I can dream it as much as I want!

take a look at [url=http://www.pilotjobsnetwork.com] - it shows the payscales for most European airlines.

That's not a dream, my friend. That's a hallucination.

Politicians's logic:

Cheap pilots = cheap airfares

Cheap airfares = votes

Chaos can be blamed on the airlines themselves. Works for either party.

It'll happen in Europe, too. Give it time ...

Well the AF pilot strike has come to an end, and all pilots have returned to work. Does anybody know what the results were? Success, or not so much?

Kind of wondering that myself and if its like the last strike not much was accomplished or they would not have struck this time.
