I honestly don't believe that the company could have screwed up the shutdown this bad on accident. It seems obvious at this point that this it is a deliberate plan, by top management, to try and claw as much money as possible that is owed to the pilot group, the flight attendants and other frontline employees. I have truly enjoyed the years I have spent working here (in spite of all the landmines that upper management seems to have deliberately hit along the way) and all the people I have had the chance to meet and work with. It really leaves an awful taste in my mouth looking aback at the last three weeks and seeing how a once great airline was able to fall so far so fast! Now I'm left just wanting it to be over so that we can all just move on and be done with this whole charade.
