jbm,
right on. good post. I agree with your sentiments.
BM,L2P etc,
A smart faaa would keep its head down, take the salary, conditions, perks, staff travel etc and not draw attention to how unrealistic your industrial leaders are.
tread carefully - striking will result in the end of the faaa (something dixon has been looking forward to) and tears from a lot of FA's not welcome back into the fold (sans previous employment conditions).
