There is nothing any pilot can do that is going to move the needle on this whole thing. Not a single thing.

However, I think a lot of pilots, myself included, are pro regime change with the C suite. We have already seen some movement in that direction offered up from the current execs. Elliott wants more, including Bob Jordan. I happen to agree with that. Our current batch of leaders has shamefully gotten us into this current predicament and caused the biggest meltdown in commercial aviation history all while taking bonuses and promotions. Nobody has been fired or even hinted at taking personal responsibility. That, to me, is enough to see them out the door. I can do greed, anti-labor, and ruthlessness, I can't do incompetence and cowardice.
Sounds like a situation where you have to go out on a limb and do Something, Anything.

The cure might be worse than the disease, for labor. Not like it was your choice in then first place. But remotely possible the union can work with them for some win/win in some aspects. We had a bit of a regime change at AS, it was insiders not people liek Elliot, but I'm mostly happy how it's working out so far.
