Yes VA management have stuffed up majorly under JB but if people just arent flying - well some drastic and unpopular measures need to be taken TEMPORARILY by all. A number of suggestions on how to personally help are being discussed on the line already but there is a fear that the 10% of nutjobs who make the most noise come every EBA will try to quash the well-meaning of the masses.
sorry, but what was spiteful about it? Just saying that in my experience these days, 99% of pilots switch off the APU...when appropriate.
