While no mainline pilot is positive to SAIL I think it's the big bosses you should be afraid of. The unions have some power to negotiate their local T&C but can in no way influence top management (or the board) in which direction they should take this ship. SAIL isn't the first provocative action taken by the company when up for negotiation. The latest being forced part time for all new upgrades.
I don't claim to know anything. However, after this summer's fiasco with SAIL and CityJet and the management's surprising transparency about it I can't believe it turned out to be the money saver they were hoping for.
