Seems like the airline will not budge from it's plans to hire the Belfast crews.
This poster is having trouble understanding the issues obviously.
Hiring Belfast crews is not the issue - their CONTRACT is the issue.
The poster (a non-pilot, on a pilots website!) denounced IALPA for threatening a strike before talking. Even though IALPA asked for talks and were refused by ALT!
Now the two sides are talking (the union backed down and allowed recruitment to continue during talks) and the chances are high the talks will fail because - more than likely - ALT will not compromise.
So, having backed down from a strike, compromised on talks arrangements, negotiated for 2 weeks - what will the posters reaction be when the pilots are forced to take industrial action again?
I guess he'll revert to type and blame the IALPA guys!
Talking is good, but sometimes its just a waste of effort, and a strategy for delaying the inevitable.
LHC is bawling for some attention.
Bugger off Leo.
