It sounds like pilots want their cake... and to eat it too. Hum.
I'd have to agree here.
As employees of one company they should all be backing up and supporting one another. Don't know the story but the FAs have to have some sort of reasoning for this.
Not to mention the second the FAs give up some, management will be banging on the pilots doors that its their turn to give up some more, because the FAs just did. If a small % of pay is going to make or break this giant company, then they have larger issues going on.
Huge amounts of smoke around this particular work action. What are the details on this?
