By doing that, you actually hit where it hurts, while by striking you hit those who have no relation to the company.
pilots could, as you said, grow a backbone, but realise - it is a free market, and the more of an unpredictable expense you become to the company, the more they will think about removing that random variable from their business equation.
In other words, shut up and bend over huh? Let them introduce the automated planes. Do you think they haven’t already introduced the automated planes because the crew are behaving or because the technology is not there yet?
I find it funny how the big airlines are constantly complaining about the rising crew costs yet every year their profits are increasing.
