I just don't understand Mannion's game plan. As I understand things, and do correct me if I'm wrong, earlier this year staff morale was very high, everyone was generally happy and proud of doing their EI duties, and the company was profitable and planning expansion. Now, through management's own volition, they have alienated their flight crew, almost forced them into strike action, costing the company money in the process, and are now prepared to suspend them all from duty if they don't accept a situation which is a) part of an unresolved negotiation process and b) in breach of existing industrial agreements with, no doubt, further loss of money??
Awaiting further developments with breath most very bated...
