Just throwing my 2 bits in as an average Joe but the perception that Joyce as successfully portrayed on Pilots is that they all earn $500,000+ and are now just claiming for petty bonuses like free flights for families.
The
PR team have turned the publics opinion against you by getting everyone to believe this is just a salary hike, not anything to do with job security.
A strike at this point will just hurt the cause even more.
A bit more spin will probably even see public support for 'strike breaker pilots'.
Im all for you guys, but unfortunately, as iterated many times already, you are losing this battle.
Whos your spokesman? At the moment you are just a faceless entity which is always much easier for the opposition to demonise.
