Make up your mind Holmes.
If there's one thing consistent, it's that pal pilots always want to leave. Why? The answer is obvious.
That's why I didn't go back during the '98 strike.
Nothing contrary at all e6. It should stop "padding" (limitedly) which is actually the purpose...now 01-06 should be "ok" cause less you got problems you CAN get a clearance. Now if a pilot (not necessarily PAL pilots) have been padding then you got a problem, unless a pilot is in cohoots with the owner or operator, and that poses a totally different problem.
And with PAL pilots leaving, it's their choice. You made the choice in 98 to do what you think is right for YOU, and not for your fellow pilots, or for your dreaded ALPAP officers (where are they now by the way). It was for you and your family. If leaving PAL now is "hard", why did they even get into it.
You see, its not about 01-06. It's how the pilots feel with regards to their working environment or situation. If things were satisfactory to the pilot's liking, 01-06 would not be in question. And guess what...while the exodus was going on...the pilots were having a hayday...and 01-06 is not gonna stop that.
