Established! Your point has validity.
However, I (and I would imagine many others) have very few avenues through which to glean information on a possible prospective employer. So I personally find this public forum a valuable source.
So what if a little dirty washing gets hung out here? I can largely distinguish between hot air, sour grapes and real nuggets of information.
You will probably find that the information available here has contributed to the lack of applicants SIA has, which indirectly will further your very cause of obtaining better conditions and benefits for your members!
I would like to work for a SIA that has the reputation of a good employer amongst its crews. Until then, I will just bide my time, and follow the events on PpRuNe.
Good luck to you all.
