Spearing Brittany, I was actually referring to AL Chairman Mulcahy,rather than CEO WW.Be in no doubt it's the Chairman who is making the running, and is doing it quietly ,his way. You would be hard pressed to find a single public comment from him since his appointment.Seems to epitomise the old maxim "speak softly but carry a big stick".
Idunno, I wouldn't be lulled by a few soft TV pilot stories, the gloves are'nt off yet . The serious hitters have not come out to play yet.Picture the scenario .Pilots on picket duty while 1500 or so unfortunates are arranging farewell gigs,....not a pretty sight.
The moral ground is a lonely place and residency there is usually short lived.Best of luck but think this one out fully before embarking on any course of action.BTW am I right in thinking that the reason the deal has become mandatory is because not enough pilots applied for the voluntary package, and that the same would have happened to the rest of the staff had they not come up with the voluntary numbers.
