Work to rule is a far better option.
You don't need a strike vote, you don't need to give notice...............
You simply take legal fuel and divert at the first sign of holding.
You work your roster. No off day work, no FDP extentions, no rest reductions. Combine this with no visual approaches and you'll soon have them begging for your proposal.
O, and if you have a cough or sneeze or feel tired, just phone in sick - even if you're on a lay over away from base!
Good luck!
The letter from the FltOpsMngr basically asked for all to be professional and if necessary to apply all the rules as required ie FDP, no exceedences, fuel decisions re alternates and WX etc..and that management would ie FltOps would back up the pilots in their decision ...but...as 777Contrail put it
Management can then also employ to rule, if you step out of line in any way you're going to get hammered..................
we have to carefull that we have our facts and figures straight....
but line-driver also has a point about the lack of crew etc etc and that their is defenitely a win situation for the pilots at hand unless a down-scalling is on the cards.....I don't think so.
