So you'd prefer it if the pilots went on strike again in the middle of the repatriation exercise, just so that they could demonstrate their even-handedness between different categories of passenger?
Or maybe you'd prefer it if the pilots never went on strike at all, ever?
Or perhaps it's OK for them to strike as long as it doesn't affect you?
In any event, I would have thought that you of all people would be able to distinguish between the concepts of act and omission, or in this case action and non-action.
