I don’t believe the best in them.
I’d also argue they didn’t “win”. If anything, they ****ed off 14,500 employees when they did this, only to then ask us to take a pay cut (which the MEC told them to rightly pound sand).
You are right in that a lesson was learned, and it will get messy before it’s over. But they united the pilot union, which can only benefit us in the long run.
