Curtain , a very worth post and I totally concur with your thoughts , unfortunately during the 99 dispute pilots were going to work using any kind of deceit they needed to ,whilst pretending they were following the directive from the AOA and screwing over their compatriots at the same time . The company even went as far as redacting the captains name from the tech log and blocking crew access to the roster . Then CX pushed out a notice stating that anyone caught intimidating fellow pilots would be summarily dismissed . Not 2 weeks later they sent a new contract to every pilots home with a sign or you no longer work here . But of course that wasn't intimidation.
So a long as we have spineless members who won't stand up and be counted we will get nowhere
