I presume the inference by Dave3 is that volunteers are mercenaries just looking at topping-up their wages for the odd allowance that crewing a/c entails.
Volunteers gave up weekends and evenings to train. Vounteers were carefully selected (in our area anyway) so the impact on those they left behind would be minimal - however, workloads inevitably increase for everyone else covering them.
I personally took two weeks unpaid leave last year. Many of my colleagues did the same. Some took "unpaid work".
And we are still catching-up with some of the backlogs that created.
So, if you are saying - the rest of the airline haven't done their bit then find out some facts first.
We are all working feverishly to clear up the devastation that the strikes are causing.
And all you can do is say volunteers should be working for free?
Unbelievable.
Sorry - but the strength of feeling among ALL fellows employees I have spoken to is not one of just "disagreement" with the actions of CC so far, but is now one of anger.
I don't think you realise how alone in the airline, you are.
