Any time Chopperman. I think that you guys deserve all that you are asking for!
I have another theory, and please correct me if I am wrong. Could it be that once strike action has been agreed the said Employer is going to go running to the oil companies with their hands in the air saying it's not us it's them, we need more money from you to pay them.
I hope that this isn't the case, as it could give you guys an uncalled for bad press.
Keep on fighting and fly safe!
