Dear FF,
It is obvious you haven't put much thought into your reply. The main issue is not the new 787 operation but the existing short haul network which is being completely undermined with contractors. Indeed the days with 5 dollars a barrel are gone. Here are the times of ultra cost reducing measures and the struggle to survive. Every company is crying wolf, howling how difficult it is to make it. Any means are justified in order to erode the pilot profession even further. If we don't fight for it, there will soon be nothing left. Every pilot will be employed by some agency without any security what so ever. So yea, rest assured, people will go on strike for this.
