Exactly. A ton of the usual FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) being spread by management, their allies among the pilot group, and those unwittingly letting their emotions being manipulated - at a time when it couldn't be less justified. The FUD was perhaps justifiable after 9/11 or in 2008, and even then there wasn't the clamor for concessions there is today. It's really incredible. Seriously, if we can't say no to concessions under THESE conditions - regionals unable to staff, airlines making money hand over fist - when exactly *wouldn't* we say no!?
