I think you'll find that the majority of the fixed term staff are not strikebreakers.

Nearly all of the fixed term staff are FAAA members and I for one will jump on anyone referring to fixed term staff as strikebreakers.

We all have own choices to make in relation to industrial action and its a little unfair to tar all those who were not fortunate enough to get permanent ongoing positions with the strikebreaker brush.

We've all been "officially" told that there may not be a permanent position available at the end of the contract so why would we work as strikebreakers.

Your first flying month is difficult enough, let alone snide or directed comments being made.

With the greatest of respect, perhaps we could all stop speculating on the mindset of the fixed term staff.
