Sage advice. Thank you.....I think.

Not quite what I said. I implied that the pilots are to blame for failing to stand together and thereby allowing RF's divide and rule tactics to work. The are still to reap the results of going the Solidarity way.

Correct. That is why ALPA employ qualified experts to perform those duties. And you thought the monthly subs are collected for pool parties and pub lunches.

Wrong. APA failed in the form of APA. Re-read point two of my previous post.

Just to make sure I "know my **** before I talk, or don't talk, about things" (or something to that effect):

Setron got upset because the Airlink pilots - many of whom had many years of loyal service under the belt - tried to stand up to protect their career progression when RF employed a bunch of guys from outside the company to operate the newest and most advanced aircraft in the company?

Put yourself in their shoes for a second and see if you would have reacted differently.
