Remoak. The TWU membership is probably about 75% (and rising) of all Company pilots and almost all of those have voted for industrial action at various meetings, even though they can't join in. Some others feel similarly but don't wish to join the TWU. ALL in all, feeling for the industrial action is very high amongst the NJS Pilots who couldn't vote this time. It isn't 100% support, but you will never get that from a group of individualist pilots. This result makes the AFAP's 'bleatings' that nothing could be done to influence NJS management look absolutely pathetic. The AFAP need a clean out of 'time servers' who no longer have the motivation or energy to kick goals for pilots.
