Ronald, sorry Cluckingbell.


I have only met WW on a few occasions and as I am not AL staff
i have little interest in his "propaganda" be it useful or otherwise
but I would say that any strike action by pilots is extremely effective and potentially fatally damaging for an airline regardless of its current profitability or past losses.

How long will the aircraft be full and the profits be plentyfull if the strike goes ahead ?

Whilst not wishing anyone a life in McDonalds unless of course its what you want (did you know 8 years ago McDonalds were employing managers on £30K..not bad huh) I think you all have to be sure possible closure of the company is really a reality
that your happy to accept.

All AL employee's whether pilots or ground staff have the brains to not do something to endanger life or risk prosecution, if WW asked you to fly the aircraft naked would you all do it.......ok dont answer that!

All I say is good luck - one way or another the 97% could well be history makers.
