...gets none of their LATEST wants, and instead is stuck retaining most of what they ripped out of the pilot group during bankruptcy.
It'll take much more than a non-striking-pilot-force-who-wishes-they-could to keep this operation anywhere near the level it was on before TA1 was released. You can talk 49ers, hostages, etc. all you want, but human nature is what it is and is. Pilots will quickly tire of being lied to by SD.
I honestly think all the sick leave abuse hangups by management will backfire if they haven't started to already. If people become convinced they're not controlling their own schedule as efficiently and lucratively as the "abusers" are...AND the rumors are true that company enforcement is nearly impossible...
Well, there are many ways in which company intransigence could backfire.
