Ice I hear you and value your thoughts.... I actually like the fact that we are all focusing on what are the real threats..... Myopic short term stuff is pointless if we don't have jobs..... When I come across those bitter FA's that treat the customer as an inconvenience, I want to yell, if those pax get a choice they will fly a sandbox carrier anywhere in the US rather than be treated poorly.... Like it or not, it is not about fairness or protecting workers.... It is about money........ People in this country want walmart in the skies..... It is just a matter of time....
Trust me I hope I am wrong!
