Max Tanking,
Come what may, the aeroplanes are going to fly anyway. The issue is whether they fly with guys on the current T&C's or on reduced T&C's. While it is of course about protecting the current jobs, it's also about protecting future jobs. That's sensible, it preserves unity and everyones prospects improve.
I assure you that your wildly inaccurate anti-IALPA comments are just that. Obviously however this is not the forum to give updates. No doubt you will learn the full story at some point.
