He and some other VCC reported for a trip during the strike which was the first half of a Back to Back. There were some members of the crew that were regular CC. They were concerned that for the second half of the trip they would be rostered to fly with strikers. The prospect of this was causing serious misgivings amongst the regular crew. A CC manager was contacted by the CSD with regard to the situation. The CC manager stated that there were no guarantees and that they may well be operating with strikers. The CC were very peturbed about this and were of a mind not to operate, the manager said they would be treated as strikers if they took this action.
I had the same situation - first half of a back-to-back and the crew being concerned about working with strikers on the 2nd half. But in my case, as soon as the concern was transmitted to ops, within 5 minutes the manager came to the briefing room and guaranteed the 2nd half would be crew only by non-strikers.
