An issue since commerciall airlines started. As you yourself point out, they can state long term contracts of service if they like.

Perhaps if they do this the number of pilots will decrease too far.

It seems it's been a swipe at me, now a swipe at Dave. Both are legally doing jobs and not breaking employment law.

Both jobs serve a purpose. Why not have a dig at the MEPs or the mass of back-room paper shufflers?
