I have answered your question as to customers.
Anyone with half a brain cell understands what and how an airline affects an economy and what the effect of a strike will have on the economy and customer relations. Do you not think people do not consider this when making such a decision as extreme as resorting to strike action? Such a decision is not taken lightly.
Some customers might understand that EI pilots will not let there T+C's go down the toilet like many other companies have done and that the race to the bottom will be stopped for the benefit of all pilots... Does the consumer understand what ethical business practices are?
Now answer the many put to you not just by me but by the many others. Post 183 and An Paddy Eile could be a start and I am not talking about the Irish ferries dispute either. You choose to ignore the many statements put to you.
You still choose not to talk about FR or Easy but you dismiss the points put to you as if you know exactly what has gone on in these situations. But the reality is that you know very little. You have no facts to provide that this doesn't happen, but you would only have to have read the many threads on either company to realise it does happen.
Just on a side note, it matters not to the context of the argument of whether I am Irish or not. I like the side track though. Dodging in and out of questions and throwing the odd bit of smoke up to try and detract from the central arguments.
