A lot of people saying that FR pilots should grow a bigger bag and go in strike and they are too scared to upset anyone in case they lose their job. This is very true, from day one FR pilots have been in debt, from the day they set foot in the C-150 the debt starts to grow. When they buy their house in Surrey and their Porsche, the debt just grow and grow.
The miners on the other hand had nothing to lose, they had a council house and an A reg ford anglia rust bucket. They would go on to benefits which would just about match their miner's wage. There will be no way, nada, never the chance of a strike. The pilots have to be able to live in the manner they are accustomed to.
