Hmmm, choosing the lesser of two evils. Pilots all want the same thing but disagree on how to go about getting it. It is always difficult trying to make the most of a bad situation, which is exactly what this is. The problem seems to be that every option is lose-lose.
An important point that I feel needs to be reiterated is that the PG are only trying to maintain their **** pay/conditions; ie, prevent their **** pay/conditions from getting even ****tier than the already **** pay/conditions rather than improve on the **** pay/conditions. There is a significant difference.
Bottom line seems to be that the company sucks to work for. That won’t change strike or no strike.
Frozo has some good points and I completely understand the principle he is standing by. But there also has to come a time when the gloves come off and it becomes no-holds-barred. Yes it’s lose-lose and everyone will hate you, but it ain’t a popularity contest. Striking is also a matter of principle and at the end of the day their only trying to make the best of a very bad situation.
Good luck boys and girls.
