Bubi, glad to hear that nobody crossed the line. There was initially a scab list of there with just two names on it, but it's great to hear that the entire pilot group sticks together.
While Spirit, BA and anyone else think it is the right time to go on strike for "honourable" demands is questionable.
Time to strike is and will always be questionable. There will be always a bad time to strike. First, it was the post 11 September climate, then the financial crises etc. Looking at management, you'll realize that their economic climate always remained very
adequate. Like I said, if you as a leader of a company request cutbacks start with yourself. Only a very few CEOs/chairmen come to mind who waived their bonuses, e.g. BA and Delta.
If management were serious and conscious then they wouldn't have to worry about strikes. It's their lies and deception that created the mistrust from their own employees.
