There are three scenarios here that I think are getting a little messed up.
Normal times - VDA to your heart’s content. No one should care.
On strike - Don’t do it!
Labor dispute - This is the one that’s really being talked about here and the one that gets mixed feelings. I think the short term gain of VDA (during a labor dispute) impacts the long term gain for both the individual and the pilot group. Therefore, I wouldn’t do it. If you SERIOUSLY needed it for a family medical emergency or something, I’d support it, but I don’t think that’s the scenario being discussed.
