As much as it hurts, this post is correct. Regardless of the solidarity thing, people will most always work in their best interests. If you have an airline pilot group that all work for the same carrier, solidarity can be obtained to organize work actions, etc, because it benefits the individual.
But to expect another pilot group to say "NO" over flying to benefit another group, is just a pipe dream.
The water has been rising for quite some time.
