You’d start seeing planed grounded over a table tray, every flight asking maintenance to clean the windshield. Ask extra water from catering. Ask for a manager before deplaning.

Read carefully every 21 pages of notam,
Making sure that no crane lights could jeopardize our flight.

It’s crazy how we can sometimes cut corner, even are expected to do so!

But yea, they can try to forces us back, we have a few tricks up our sleeve.
Tanker max fuel and full rated thrust takeoff every time. Safety first.

On this day honestly, ops frequency should be dead quiet. Stop doing someone else’s job.

No fuel truck?

They have cameras, let them ask you why doors are still open!!

No ground crew? We’ll wait..

Just get out your pens and snag everything. Not hard to ground a plane. Those tires look pretty bald. Com 1 has a lot of static in it. Etc

Your typical voter will be spammed in the MSM about stories how pilot only work 10 days/80hrs a month, and make 300K a year and are responsible for impacting the Canadian economy because they’re unwilling to sign a generous 30% raise.
You are min-understanding my perspective. No one would trigger an election over an under-worked, over paid pilot. Politicians would stab their own mother in the face if it meant they could gain something for themselves. Triggering an election opens up the possibility of changing sides of the isle in Ottawa. Triggering an election is all about gaining more seats and gold-plated government pensions. The AC strike would just be the mechanism to do it.
