A very articulate post and pleasant to read. However, leaves a lot of questions unanswered. If pilot body is so 'together' then why didn't the union institute a proper ban? Upgrades etc. No one has ever tried to answer that. The Company has responded, in a draconian fashion, to an increase in industrial action after many years of union action against them. I am no rocket scientist but even I saw that coming. My sympathies to my friends amongst the 49ers but the union brought this on you. What has the union achieved in 8 years of whinging and taking action against the hand that feeds it? An effective 4 per cent pay cut for members, loss of 50 odd jobs, ridicule in the world of aviation both internationally and worse within it's own company and don't forget to wear your hat. If you think the 49ers are coming home I'd like a bit of what you are smoking.
