The media was excluded from most of the meeting, but a source close to the pilots said some had called for a strike as soon as tomorrow.
If this did happen it occurred after I left at 1505. The media were present when I left but had been excluded prior to that. No one called for strike action at any stage when the media were excluded. Comments from the AIPA reps whilst I was there did not encourage anything. They simply outlined what was illegal industrial action and what was not considered industrial action. They certainly stressed pilot unity.
Perhaps those statements regarding strike action occurred after I left but as I mentioned, the media were present then and would have heard it first hand- and who said it. The reality is quite different to what has been reported.
