Union said EVA is forcing these crew members in Vienna to sign paperwork that they are not striking or they will be on their own for hotel and food costs.



These flights were confirmed by EVA as re-instated flight with more crews on task. However, we don't know if it's from the strike FAs or not.



Oh, I guess my post was confusing to many. I only listed the flights operated, and Vancouver was never on the list...



All Brisbane flights were canceled so they have not yet got on the list of flying.



Though almost 3,000 voted for strike, union only has around ~2,000 of those passports and IDs.



Union is refusing to return those items unless the FAs goes there themselves to claim it even though EVA has the request letter notarized by Taoyuan court. Report says union called each of those union member to seek their intent and the intent is to return the IDs. However, we don't know if the union has yet returned the IDs.
Union has agreed to return the documents via phone confirmation after being advised by their lawyer that the notarizations were legitimate and legal.

Good for the company for laying down the law with the outstations. Want to support the strike? Pay for your own hotel. You can't strike and then live off the company.

The flight attendants went to the airport yesterday to "show their support and appreciate/thank the ground staff", only to be blown off and blasted by the passengers. It was comical watching CP Liao, the union leader, get absolutely destroyed while she stood there with her little sign asking people not to yell at the ground staff. She deserved every bit of that.

The best part is that the previously somewhat incompetent Golden Kou spokesperson is no longer at BR and the new spokesperson is actually quite aggressive with this communications strategy. Good for the airline.
