I have reticent up to now to go for strike action -
You don't say!
In the last few days, I have significantly hardened my position
About time. But I still don't think anything will happen.
There are many legalities to be resolved here and this will not be easy
In other words, any attempt to resolve things will be buried in committee meetings, and, guess what - NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.
Why can you not demand that easy suspend the relationship with CTC immediately, along with any pay-to-fly schemes, sub-contracts, etc, or strike action will follow? They will not cave in to a barrage of hot air NSF.
