Unfortunately, it is easy to perceive the ogre to be Impulse or NJS or Virgin. The reality is the the problems for mainline crews lie from within. You make much of the "responsibility" etc of the profession.
If a crew can plant a 747-400 in the 19th hole of a you know where and NOT BE HELD FULLY ACCOUNTABLE for their shortcomings (read: GET SACKED) the why should you get paid the big bucks????
That episode and the ensuing inquiry was a disgrace and is a bigger blight on the profession than Impulse crews negotiating a future beyond the 717. No one else is going to help them, so don't blame them.
I hope this P*sses of a few people, It's the TRUTH.
