kungfu panda, that is spot on, unfortunately
The NAS pilots had their chance in May 2012, with a very similar situation as the current one with the CCs. ECA union pilots had their backs (as well as many others), but they (NAS union) caved because of a combination of threats (strike = you`re out) and false claims of permanent employment. So now it`s up to the CCs to set the mark, and personally, from what I`ve seen and heard around OSL, they are p!$$ed beyond repair!
