It could be said that some people in positions of power see integrity as a weakness to be ruthlessly exploited. This is distasteful to most but it is unfortunately also reality.
If you come to a gunfight with a sword, you are going to loose, regardless how 'gentlemanly' your actions. So to win a dirty fight, I'm afraid you may have to play dirty. This can be as simple as
exposing your opponent's dirty tactics for the world to see, through whatever underhand means are necessary.
It is however completely understandable that aircrew may find these concepts difficult to comprehend - it is, after all, a career based on obeying various rules. It is perhaps this culture of compliance that attracts so many sociopathic types into the corridors of airline management.
But seems some aircrew are waking up to the darker side of reality. You don't have to like it, just accept that it is something deeply unpleasant you have to deal with. No different to an inflight mechanical failure really.
