HA, Christrep etc,

As a CX pilot and having flown with mixed crews (AOA, management, non-union, scabs from previous airlines eg:QNZ and our current 'replacement workers) I can honestly tell you that from planning to touch-down the FD is entirely on the same song sheet. We may not play together.... but with 1700 pilots/personalities youre never going to be bosom buddies with all anyway. Its a shame, I agree.

Our aim is to get YOU safely and efficiently from A-to-B. Any angst, perceived or otherwise is far out weighed. Please dont not worry. (But I understand your concerns)

That said the AOA has played up this issue in an effort to get public support and Management have likewise used this to portray the AOA as unprofessional and unsupportive of the travelling public. Its all smoke screens and mirrors.

Its easy to be a tough guy on an anonymous forum (or talk the big talk at your local with your AOA [or management] buddies)... but, in my experience, I havent seen it effect FD ops.
