My dear friends! I do not represent anybody – as you do I suppose – and I am stating my opinion. First of all help does not mean joining the same union. I just said that you could ask for help from the existing unions, as to how to confront the challenge of a creation of a union! It’s easier not to make the same mistakes done before. As per your bitterness concerning the …”arrogant” attitude of the HALPA pilots, up to now, you have to consider the damage done by the letters sent to the press in 1986, during our struggle, stating that professional pilots are ready to fly even free just to make the flights that the HALPA pilots refused to fly!! And if you do not know/remember it, just ask some people who did live the situation!
Anyway. All this is the past. Our times demand for courage to unite the professional pilots in the common cause.
Happy Holidays.
