A couple of things strike me (excuse the pun) about the Mirror story on VCC pilots and Facebook:

1. As a story it hasn't had legs. A Facebook faux pas story like this is one you would expect to spread like wildfire and be picked up by almost all other national media outlets. Aside from The Evening Standard, I haven't seen it covered in other media outlets. Perhaps because they think it doesn't stand up?

2. Neither Duncan Holley nor Unite have said a word about the story. Given all the vitriol directed at the pilots throughout this dispute you would have thought they would have seized on any failings of the VCC pilots and shouted about it from the rooftops. Why so quiet?
