I do think though that every day that goes past with no updates to reassure pax and just keep them informed, even if there's no 'news' on VS's website is very unwise.
I'm a passenger and yes, thats what we want. Some idea of what's going on. Just something saying the talks are progressing well (or not) would be good. We are heading to peak holiday season and there are an awful lot of families desperate to know something. The current silence from both sides is hopeless. You must remember than many of the people flying over the summer only take one flight a year. This period of uncertainty with no information will live long in the memory even if, as I sure we all hope, there is no actual walkout.
I make no comment about the dispute itself. I don't know the history in full or the internal disputes over management. I just want to see a settlement.
