Just in case anyone is in any doubt - of the last 5 crews I have flown with I have done a little scientific survey (!) and of 10 people, 6 were more radical than me (and I WILL strike given the present options) 3 were similarly radical and only 1 was "anti" strike.
Be aware. I will not stand for 40% of my pension to disappear. I will enjoy answering the phone to the management bullys and advising them to tell their story walking.

Ignore the diversions of LIFO etc etc. This matters and we cannot lose if we stick together.
