Update:
Public opinion polls: 80% think that pilots are overpaid/oversupplied/overpampered.
Finnair blog, AY PR-manager: Pilots do not live this day with their expectations.
Finnish pilot union: Ok. Let go 20% of the wages... BUT "If
we grant our employer an unlimited possibility to fly
their planes using outsourced staff, there will be a concrete risk of that Finnair pilots will soon have no work at all. We cannot accept that."
I think the PR-manager summarises it nicely. And I almost hope that the strike will be a long one, having read the clever comment from the pilot union spokesman.
