Pips, if you attend the forums you'll find out what the deal is from both sides.
As for sticking together. I went to the union forum, how many were there? 5 of us! Then I went to the company one....6 people.
So much for people sticking togther, or actually really being intersted in their future.
If your in the union - YOU GET TO VOTE AND HAVE YOUR SAY.
If your not - you don't.
So Pips if your not in the union, join. If you are, get others to join.
Training will start for a small few (trainers) June/July as they will have to train new people on the 777. All others will be trained from Aug onwards because if they are trained before their recency will lapse and they need to go for a refresher again (more cost).
