Completely disagree with that.
As professionals we still strive to do a good/great job on a daily basis. We have sweat equity invested in the airline and want to see it prosper. None of us want to live/work in a broken down house/airline. That is exactly what management is counting on and the WILL use it against us. As long as the metal moves and profits keep coming in, they couldn't care less about employee moral and motovation.
I have seen it time and time again, like a broken record.
