Commander, the same happened at AF....only the reverse.....the good guy was shot in the air like a clay pigeon.
Resentment was soooooo high that not matter the question and the deal that was on the table..... the real question was never answered.
Just a big temper trantrum.....a very expensive one.
We are now stuck with the dead wood that Mr Smith is not allowed to touch.
Of course the question was answered !
The question was "do you accept the proposed salary agreement ?"
The answer was no, because they indeed refused the salary agreement. Because they wanted a better one.

Personally, as a future Air France employee (just waiting for my notice period to end at my current company), I sincerely hope that all parties involved will have the best interest of the airline in mind. Not the shareholders, not one specific group of employees.
