Managers that haven't got things under control often try to save their behinds with various postulations etc.
Gofer, I understand your point about getting across the point about SWISS not complying with the court's ruling but depending upon which news reports, this item came through clearer than in others.
It seems though today, that the responsible managers for the first full blown strike in Swiss Aviation history are still bleating away about being open for discussion/negotiations blah blah, as long as it doesn't involve implementing the court's ruling (check today's papers).
One has to presume, according to the content the Swiss pilot's president comment said in one paper I read, that strike actions will have to be repeated......
