I think you show your inexperience and immaturity in that posting.
Firstly, you have identified yourself as one of 17? crew members (possible much less if you are male) on the SFO on the 7th - narrows it down quite a bit
Secondly, it is much harder to manage a series of short stoppages for the company than one longer one. The crewing implications are much greater with MBTR etc etc with short breaks.
Thirdly, if you believe in something you should fully support it, and not take the easy option of going sick - what message does that send to your colleagues and the company.
Note: What I posted before re sickness. It is because it is the easy option that, if it gets to the strike date, that I believe it will be a sick-out rather than a strike-out.
Ho hum, off to work I must go.
Toodle pip and Merry Christmas to all.
