but as usual they(FEDS) did what again?
abc1, If you are refering to the AFAP as the FEDS then you should get the facts right before you having a shot. The FEDs didn't have to do anything because management honoured the pilots' EBA and paid the 3% payrise due. There was no question or suggestion from the company that the payrise would not happen. This may, in fact, show the value, generally, the workers get by being unionised and the strength particularly of the AFAP.
Pilots in V would do themselves a big favour by getting themselves organised and properly represented.
