Vortex, Eddy (in my opinion) is fairly representative of a large number of Crew.
Hes clealry said hes anti-strike but obviously feels a liitle 'threatened',if thats the right word by whats going on around him - particularly wrt New Fleet i'd imagine. I think him, and others like him would have liked to see the union bat that away and agree something before we got to where we are now.
Just because crew are anti-strike does not necessarily mean they have to despise their union either (though many do). Unfortunately, him and many like him, have been let down by those they trusted at the wrong time. There's no need to pillory him for his opinions. Hes one of the good ones and always posts honestly and eloquently and doesn't get personel. Everyones entitled to their opinions and if we don't agree with them, well.... tough really.
