I am absolutely against destructive actions, like a wild strike to say something. But it is of MAJOR importance that pilots stick together and speak and act as one. Our unity and professionalism are the only things we can use to negociate AND help our company move ahead.
So indeed: it's definitely (and always) time to show some spine in the talks with management. Respect and be respected, right?
Be reasonable and be treated reasonably, right?
The future's still bright!
