No i wasn't part of the committee at the time. However my opinion is that if we are in a situation, like Contract Compliance, or whatever you want to call it at different times during our History, then it's because we had no choice. Our hand was forced. Its not like we are doing it for Sh!ts and giggles. Therefore unless something of cataclysmic proportions has the company at a make-or-break position, then no union "action" should ever be withdrawn.
The grounding of the A330s is like Typhoon Signal 8. Non event in my eyes. I.e there should be no withdrawal of Union Action. It's moments like this when we really show the Company what Goodwill they are abusing and why we withdrew it.
Therefore my opinion is that you saying "it was a mistake" makes you a pacifist. But like I acknowledged, you are entitles to your opinion.
