i think it is time to hang up the handbags and agree to disagree on this very emotive issue on this thread.it is just going around in circles.i am a union person and wish to better the lives of myself and my fellow workers.there are fundamental differences between all the posters here.if you have any fight left in you or have not given up hope of a long term future in aviation,then fight on and hold your head up high.if in the other weaker camp,then do what you wish.my advise for what it is worth,is for those pro union/pro future to desist from posting on this thread any longer and devote their energies to the good work that DOES every day progress on our behalf and let those who be run over to their own devices.
to thine own self be true!rock bottom is not just another rung on the ladder downward.
semper fidelis!!!
