That is true G-UNIT but they can't replace the experience of the people who are in more senior positions already and it is these people who voted no and these peple who are willing to walk out the door.
The return in favour from the ballot may only be 30 or 40% of the total number of crew but that number includes mostly all the senior crew who are the ones who are D-FIB trained.
Not to forget all the crew who will take advantage of the strike just to get out of certain trips. It's sad but there are a lot of crew who will do this. Add this to the amount of crew who where too scared to vote in favour of action but who will now realise that the decision is done so they may aswell.
The company will not run when these people walk out the door.
30 or 40% will become 70 or 80%
Would you want to risk that?
