A little bird tells me that the pilots were balloted on Industrial action and they virtually all said yes. Unfortunately, this has led nowhere, the company appear to be using delaying tactics again and from what I was told, even though the ballot result was last week, no-one has been told if the company were given their 7-day notice period. If so, strike action could start as early as Friday coming. It is without doubt that the management will be trying to string their decision out as long as possible and then this smokescreen (because that's what this is) will clear away and then the 'FSP' will be lost and the employees just content to get their roster back in place.
I only heard this from a 3rd party so don't shoot the messenger.
