As a former GOM'er (in the yellow helicopters), I sympathise with and support my colleagues at Air Log completely.
I have a hard time imagining what management expects to gain with their "bloody-mindedness." Pilots are a naturally independent and contrary lot. The management style employed by Air Log is what drives us to unite and emphasises the importance of standing by our brothers.
As Ben Franklin said "We must all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately."
