Xbone,
Actually he's a pilot who figured out the quickest way to personal fortune is to join mgmt and keep labor in check, sort of like a "house slave" of old if you saw Django.
None of it's personal, it's business and they are following the well worn path of why pay $1 when you can get plenty of applicants for $.50. They figure the more they can wring out of labor the more they can lavish upon themselves as stock options and bonuses.
If they knew you and your family, it's not that they would take your dinner, but since you are now just officially "labor" it's much easier to morally validate your actions in your mind if you are mgmt.
Best of luck and across the industry we hope that ALG employees and especially pilots get the rewards they deserve from their hard work they do daily to help ALG make bags of dough.
