By the sounds of my Jetstar colleagues this latest stunt could be costing big dollars. They're pissing off the entire pilot group not just a faction this time.
For those that fear strikes 89, fear not as pilots have learned and will not repeat the mistakes of the past. These days the results come out in fuel costs and poor otp results. In some extreme cases people start not accepting working on days off or extending duties. All 100% legal its their choice.
So for every dollar saved on sneaky industrial chess $10 is lost in fuel etc. Pilots are generally deep down pro company, tolerant and professional. We put up with a lot but I think we're about to see that come to an abrupt end.
There's only so much juice you can squeeze out of the aviation orange!
