in any dispute it is important to identify who can be relied upon and who cant
...just as it is important to identify who is likely to be a threat to you and your family for daring to disagree with a union line.
Such people are little more than petty thugs dressed up as pilots. Funny how people revert to the baser instincts when the pressure comes on. Interesting how people can turn on friends and colleagues over a industrial dispute. And you though the Taliban were a little over the top...
People who act like that have no place in professional aviation.
As it happens, I am a member of a pilots union, but not one that espouses the threat of intimidation in the way that the individual above does, or the way that NZALPA did (or perhaps more accurately, some of their staff).
If the only way that you can solve your problems is with violence or threats of violence, or intimidation or insults, you really don't have the moral character to be in charge of an aircraft...
