I disagree with you I do not recall receiving any comms from Bassa regarding Pilots BEFORE the volunteering campaign started.
I think many crew have distanced themselves from pilots as a direct consequence of knowing that :
1-some were absolutely happy to undermine their legitimate right to take industrial action
2-that if they expressed their disapproval they would be likely to be disciplined .
Lastly Aer Lingus pilots (ialpa) have collected 100 000€ to support their suspended cabin crew colleague who have been suspended for working to rule.
What does that tell you?
