Maybe the statement "not quite true" is a diplomatic approach I might think!
As reported on Qrewroom
Percentage Yes vote (for PSN)
1. A380 Captain = 36.6%
2. B747 Captain = 31.3%
3. A330 Captain = 51.7%
4. A380 F/O = 58.1%
5. B747 F/O = 42.6%
6. A330 F/O = 55.6%
7. A380 S/O = 57%
8. B747 S/O = 42.7%
9. A330 S/O = 50%
The movement to PSN was set at 60% (Defined Majority on each Type) by AIPA committees (i.e the Pilots!). Therein, the Question was then raised, given the full collective aircraft type
No Vote of Pilots on the Long-Haul fleet - that the vast majority were not interested in the PSN.
In that case, the question was raised by Pilots why was PSN made mandatory on the 787?
It would be interesting to see what the Vote would be on the B-787 now if the NABS was offered against PSN.
Safe Flying.
One can only deal within the rules and statistics!
