THY STRIKE
I have not seen many examples of airline employees going on strike and the stock price of the company going up. I thought this was a combined operation of 49% private investors and 51% government. Am I missing something here?
As Hava-Is seem to have gone through the third day of this tedious battle, and only about 500 mostly F/A's have participated with the toll of losses now rising to 209+305, then it remains to be seen what is left of the union as a whole in a country were freedom of expression continues to be suppressed. I wonder why some people ask, and I quote: "Why are THY F/A's not smiling?" end of quote!
"The right to strike" and regain a dignifying career, or "The right to work" and become an airplane part number; Duty times, flying times and rest periods are being extended to the limit of the envelope, to a point where soon everyone would loath this business, regardless of how much money you can pull.
The Turkish DGCA, or SHMI flirting with granting all excessive duty time limitations, experimenting with waivers of every kind, and yet flirting to become recognized as "in conformance" with EASA rules??
Just a friendly reminder; It was the Union who got us representation in the labor department, it is the Union who will have the force to stop this abuse. I am extremely grateful of the efforts served by such an honorable leader running Hava-Is, and who despite regaining the right to strike, the majority of his fellow union members opted to return back to work, as they only fear today, but have been blinded on what tomorrow brings. This strike has unveiled nothing more but the fragility of their members, specially when all the elements for success were there such as; The Public Opinon, The legal process approved for a strike, and a leader that could have restored the so much coveted respect and admiration pilots and crews in general have lost. Aytilay Acin will be remembered not for his militant activities, but for his foresight in preventing potential dangers the transportation industry will regret in the future for not adopting or modifying the rules of engagement.
Mission impossible! THY employees will never regain respect by the industry, you reap what you saw!
