During times of high demand Owners are more likely to be loyal to radio work than drivers, that's what I'm saying, using the fact at times of high demand there will be more drivers than owners running mobile, im not singling out you as an individual, City Cabs have some great drivers who do the work on the circuit, you surely can't be advocating drivers are more loyal than owners
Do you actually believe the above points you make?? I have seen the discipline info re drivers up in front of the committee for failing to cover work over MANY years and if you take off your rose tinted "owners" glasses my friend I think you will agree there are MANY repeat offenders on these sheets who are OWNERS not drivers who regularly fail to cover radio work whilst they try to just grab fares from the "wonderful" airport rank. For your info I DO NOT work for City Cabs now but have in the past and please do not tell me what I am "advocating" (you surely cant be advocating drivers are more loyal than owners

)

The majority of City Cab members/owners are extremely loyal to City Cabs and also to our present committee, the stats back this up, the point I'm also making is what chance have stand alone Apps got when at times of high demand a lot of Taxis are running mobile, that's where we have the advantage, we have a huge loyalty to our radio work, owners and drivers, I'm sure the stats prove my comments are correct.
Off course the majority are more loyal than those who are not, why do you feel the need to state the blindingly obvious in your posts. Please expand on stats that back up your point that they are "extremely" loyal to the committee, I would be intrigued to read FACTS not just your point of view

Again the point I'm making is a collective point
On your last point about insults and abuse, the abuse is only coming from 1 or 2, I presume the insult/owner comment is aimed at me, I'm not insulting anyone, if it's taken by you as an insult and a personal one at that then that's your issue, there is no evidence of insulting the drivers of City Cabs coming from me

Again your presumptive qualities are failing you. I am making the general point that the same comments and the same arguments appear here and elsewhere by the same people year in year out decade in and decade out and nothing changes. If you think I was either upset or affected by you personally then please be under no illusion....I am not.
The trade is full of self interested egotistical individuals who whilst initially may have started with good intentions gradually change to bitter and twisted people with agendas all over the place. Until the trade finds a way to PULL TOGETHER AS ONE, then this trade is going to slowly and sadly fade away.
As examples of selfish greedy taxi drivers I have had 3 occasions in the last 2 nights where 2 City Cabs and 1 Central guy have picked up within 20 metres of ranks and not even been ashamed of doing so whilst I tooted my horn, 2 at George 1V bridge rank and worst of all a central guy on Tues night at the crossing at the Playhouse rank with SIX cars on the rank in front of him not 10 metres away!!!!!
Still what am I saying its never us its always the part timers, the PH or anybody else we want to bad mouth instead of looking at OURSELVES
