The thing I forgot to mention before, and probably the most important thing, management has shown if the pilots won't cow down, they will find someone else who will. Don't be surprised if they do it again.

Jane dates a married man, Joe, and he eventually leaves his wife to marry Jane. A few years down the road, Joe tells Jane he has been dating another woman and wants a divorce. How surprised should Jane be.... and just how sorry would you feel for her?
