If after the talks AL wishes to continue with their plans than I think we should go ahead and pull the plug.
There are no talks. Management won't talk. The pilots will talk at any time or place of their choosing.
The management want a strike. The agenda is much bigger than BFS. The agenda is to break IALPA.
If IALPA is broken, you may as well not bother looking for a job in EI, just go straightaway to ryanair. Which will be lost too, as IALPA (and BALPA) are the only ones trying to help the ryanair pilots (which is more than most ryanair pilots are doing for themselves
).
This profession has been in freefall for years, and that's with union protection. Where the hell d'you think it will be in another 10 years if management get their way 100%?
