Pride before a fall? if, as suggested Long Haul is bleeding the main operation why doesn't the Company simply shut down the LH operation, place the aircraft out on lease and redeploy the crews back on the 737? The debacle in the US is far from settled as is the cohesion with NAS itself.. To purge the conditions of the crews in order to prop up management ego is totally without justification. As for roster cover to break strikes, didn't Shamrock try this in 2009 when separate conditions were imposed on Dublin crews and UK based crews? history doesn't repeat itself, now NAS crews stand a chance of being "part of history.". good luck.. and for Christ's sake change that colour scheme from pen*s helmet red nose and santa claus on the tail!
