I also don't understand the 'head in the sand' mentality with our pilots. Think ahead another 12 months. How difficult a decision do you think it will be for management to withhold the 13th month again? Especially when they have paid NO price for doing so this time. A group of pilots who won't fight (even a guerilla war) for their rights and careers is destined to lose both. This airline has finally gone off a cliff when it comes to career value, and the pilots are the one's to blame. The management are only doing what suits themselves. Why wouldn't they when they get no push back. I despair at the complete lack of fortitude and courage (or even a sense of self-preservation) that is evident in our group. Those of you going to work today...do you hear the hammer in the background? The hammer that is striking the last nails into the coffin of your careers. Blame yourselves, as you review the paperwork and make your 'pleasant' pa's to the pax. It's all a sham, and it's over. You just don't know it yet.
