Im sure Stoic the situation you describe is true.Im sure theres a bit of a bravado/pioneering spirit in the air.Whatever the outcome,whoever "wins",inevitably the operation will be back....the difference being,striking crew non striking crew and the pilot community all back together.
My experience is that teamwork,mutual respect particularly between the Cabin Crew and yourselves are absolutely fundamental to the success of the brand and the company.This will be the legacy of this dispute.
