You need to look at the demographics of an airline before making a statement like this. The younger guys (in their 20s and 30s) have enough time in the industry and options to say "screw this place" and let it burn. However, the 45-60 yr old crowd with 10-15+ years of service are in a tougher position. Many of them have 10 years or less to go in this industry before retirement. They cannot start over at another airline, and many can't just do a career change at this late an age. For them, concessions is still a better option than their golden goose getting burned. I'm not saying it makes it right, but at least see where they are coming from.
