In Australia in the late 1980's the domestic RPT pilots went on strike.
These geniuses never went on strike. AFAP persuaded them to resign en masse. They fell for it hook, line and sinker.

See: The Australian Pilots Dispute of 1989 by Alex Paterson

Note that the incident is generously described as a 'dispute', not a 'strike'.

I've been on strike, they haven't. Don't let them BS you on this issue. A sad day for eveyone, but they were never on strike.
