I have no idea what the motives of this pilot were, but would have to take him at his word. Furthermore, two things can be true at the same time, so again, if he says that he is concerned about passengers that's good enough.
When you say " I'M LOVING IT watching this pilot group twist in the wind like a weather vane on a string in a tornado" are you not part of this pilot group? And why would you feel that way, under any circumstance ? In the future I will remember to symbolically copy paste " I'M LOVING IT watching this pilot group twist in the wind like a weather vane on a string in a tornado" after everything that you post.
He's a realist. He hoped the pilots could actually form unity to improve the collective equity. It's a fairy tale. Pilot leaders get to the top and conspire to shove a shh it y contract through, during billion dollar profits, and then go out to Cacharels for Kobe beef and $400 bottles of wine (they learned about Caharels by dining with DUI).
It's a fantasy. Let it go. Do your job, and forget the stress. You are an independent contractor. It's what the majority wants, always, after several decades.. Always.
