Pilots to meet protesters

It is reported in many of the Saturdays / Sunday papers that pilots have asked to meet with the camp peoples. There has been so much hype read, seen and heard living as I do three miles from the camp, the worst thing about all this is the usual over reaction from the authorities in particular the MetPolice, and the amount of overtime ratched up particularly by their choppers, much good intelligence can be gained from 0200-0400 hrs daily as we all know.
What mandate do these pilots have and what company do they work for and what sanction will they bring to bare. Even the DFT have got in on the act with their goons at the airport waiting to assist in this crisis. When the time comes to need their help then aviation will have packed up. Finally it is as well the protesters are not from a religious or ethnic minority group, were they to be we would not have been permitted any comments.
