What you say doesnt make sense. We wouldn't be going on TV countering Kirby asking for more $$, we'd be going on in front of the public demanding he take responsibility and how he is to blame for our lack of QOL (Esp extensions into days off) AND for mismanaging the operation just as much as ATC..
Unlike pay demands, that WILL garner sympathy from the public.
