Most VANZ pilots understand the bind VAA pilots would find themselves in if asked to cover some VANZ flying. Legally they couldn't refuse and most would understand that its not worth risking your job over what could be deemed unlawful industrial action. VAA covering some VANZ as has been pointed out would have the desired effect, hurting the company and not the larger travelling public. The same could be said for Air NZ.
Just don't forget about it if the boot gets put on the other foot.
Its the thought that counts though.
