If you keep the IPA/IPF which, it looks like you may have to unless you all "down tools" so as to speak, you will also need a pilot council to support the negotiations as this organisation tends to depend on Pilot input rather than being creative. PJ may be a nice bloke etc, but you need more clout if you want to achieve anything serious at negotiations, having said that, Pilots as a whole can be apathetic and put their fate in the hands of others, if you do this, just be prepared to accept the outcome may be a lot less than you wish. Ok on day to day issues and rules etc, PJ may be your man, but up against DHL management he will be out gunned unless you guys engage in the process. Bit of thread creep here, but heads up. Fundamentally, what DHL and these guys have done is morally wrong and may even be illegal, has anyone looked at the European laws on this
