Better sell it before one of those "GTSIO grenades" lets go, or it will be worthless...indeed the industry is changing, the high paid expat pilot is being "disappeared by the bean counters, but if things in the harbour are headed down the same toilet that most of the rest of the industry has already been down, why go without a fight? must remember that these folks have been around longer than most, no i don't like the union, and their hypocrisy is sickening, but folks do have a right to make a stand, regardless of which side they choose (something unions fail to realize), it seems when you don't necessarily see it their way, you are labeled a scab..which is very unfair, many of us who were screwed by the union would and do still respect a picket line...it looks a bit silly to the travelling public when unions choose to "work to rules" makes them wonder if corners were being cut and safety was being compromised prior to the action...heard lots of comments to that effect already here, and also in the states during United (85) and USAir (88)...we understand, but they garner very little public support for sure...either fly it or park it...of course parking it is not an option is it?
