Nearly a decade ago the Chairman of a well known Australian Regional airline stated, “I would rather cut off my right arm than pay my pilots more.”

The result of that infamous statement and intractable mindset was the wholesale decimation of the schedule. In the end it was the GFC and the overnight stoppage of expansion at the Majors that saved their arse. Otherwise the drain would have been terminal.

Get ready for round Two!
