The Japan flying isn’t my cup of tea (in fact I couldn’t think of anything worse than a 2 crew 7.5 hour red eye in a 737), but I don’t begrudge people for doing it. I think any perceived leverage from this was way over stated anyway.
As has been clearly articulated by others, the strength of the Union has a direct correlation to the strength of the membership (which is also the reasons there is a strong case against different Union memberships!).
We will know just how strong the members of the Unions are in about 12 months if it comes to the crunch.
In a previous life, I have done 8 hour Red Eye flights in a 737- 700 with additional tanks. It’s not pleasant.
