Going on strike while your customer is on strike seems a day late and dollar short.
Would seem waiting till they get a settlement and go back to work THEN the bottom feeders in food chain argue for a Contract increase due inflation and pass it along to the employees even if it requires a walkout by the aviation employees.
Hard to argue a rate increase when you have just done the exact same for your own staff seems to me.
Ideally, the Operators work a deal with the O and G companies without need for a walkout by their employees.
