guvnor: "blackmail"?!
Who´s blackmailing/pressuring all the time?...
Supply and demand is the name of the game.
KADS:
DLH on possible unlimited strike will be counted on the 3rd at noon.
Press conference at 1500 (1400 UTC).
We´ll see what happens then, but don´t expect anything near the US-majors contractwise.
Might take a while till things are all settled, because they´ve started to talk about the working conditions contract (duty/rest times, overtime, augmentation etc.) also.
Most people are ready when VC calls (and I´m supposed to fly on the 4th, 15 hrs overtime - I might have to look at it as an investment in my future...).
