Good point! If it's OK for the pilots to take action over something that may never happen, surely it's OK for passengers to do likewise (i.e. make their own contingency plans on the basis of a possible strike).
If the pilots were to -
"take one step back" and
"wait for the facts" (to quote from earlier posts) perhaps the parties in dispute might not be in the present mess and public support for a strike based on actual events, rather than possibilities, might be greater. Or am I missing something fundamental to the argument?
