Oh please, please LET them do that !! You will see hundreds of pilots coincidentally coming down with the flu. What's missing in all these hypothetical's is the fact that most of the CX pilots have ALREADY reached their breaking point. If there was ever something to push them all over the edge immediately, that would be it. So go ahead AT, light that touch paper. And Max, if the TB is 'killing promotions' (as you put it), then you acknowledge that the company operation is being severely affected? And if that is the case, why would that not eventually force the management to negotiate properly? And if it doesn't, then NOTHING else has any hope of turning this ship around, in which case everyone might as well resign today. Btw, that is effectively starting to happen, on average one a day. It's over.
ps. what exactly is your strategy?
