I think the GC has a very tough job.
The company has pushed and now they have to chose what actions to take.
Mind you they are dealing with a very hostile company when it comes to these things AND, a pilot group who has a reputation to be less than unified because of self serving individuals and company promoted division.
What will YOU do if the option for serious action is presented???
Fume on PPrune?
Yammer nicely about how you are a bit upset???
Or man up and support the union???
We will get exactly what we are willing to accept.
