Great post 'Lack of Interest', obviously from someone at or near ground zero...
VA have demonstrated again and again that they will do what ever is expedient and convenient for them, regardless of what the EBA says.
The unions have also demonstrated time and again they will do whatever is convenient for them. Example, the AFAP's treatment of E-jet pilots during the so called 'de-commissioning' process has been nothing short of reprehensible. Happy to throw a section of the pilot group under the bus to further their own interests.
