They decided to collectively "force" our respective managements to raise the fares so that they could give us a fair wage. Since it would be collectively done, the pax would have to eat it just as we do when the doctors,lawyers, butchers and bakers pass the bill on to the customer...
Then we would be all happy,and no one merges or goes t/u ,period end of story.
Could we make this a reality??
Please don't give me the story of collusion and price fixing, because no revolution ever started legally.
Therein lays the rub... To increase fares, capacity must be reduced. Who would be willing to fall on the sword first?

Have a good 4th.
