Hi NG
The thing to do, in my view, is to get the 3 pilot's associations together and work out a consensus ratified under the Union (SNA) umbrella. APVAR (Varig's pilot association) has tried for several years to have Rio Sul and Nordeste pilot's association on the same boat but without success. Now it's the time to come together. Just my 2 cents worth.
Regards.
PS On a side and happy note, all APVAR board members have just won, on court, they job back after being sacked by Varig during the IAM of 2001. Of all 62 pilots who were fired, 34 have already gotten their job back by court decision. Hopefully more to come.
