I'm not working in the Netherlands; I'm outside of the KLM group.
With colleagues, I meant professional colleagues, not company colleagues.

I would not cross the picket line, since I have my own career, and joining KLM would not be a necessity. So I have a choice. Then I choose to support industrial action.

On the other hand, someone with no hours who anyway needs 2 months of training to have any impact on the operation, will not make the differrence on the cause. And to refuse a KLM job when you have 0 hours needs both balls and deep pockets, since the chances you'll find a comparable job are nil.

So take it out on the pilots joining from other companies or even the schools providing the pilots, but not on the zero hour ab-initio individually.
