There are a few very odd perceptions on this forum as to what has just happened.
Firstly, and simply, NZ pilots pay their union fees like the rest of us and so must be supported when there is a legal case to answer against the company when they act unconscionably.
Secondly, I am certain that there is not a single person commenting here who has put in even 1/10 of the work these guys have for the greater good of the whole CX pilot group than these guys. Many of you simply do not know what you owe them for the massive work they have put in over the past 20 year, and in particular in protecting our FTLs from constant attack.
