Yes a tragic event no matter which way you look at it.
I think controlledrest put it appropriately in another thread that the reality is this:
The board have decided on POS18. RH and GMA are implementing it and more. All departments are encouraged to treat aircrew (front and rear) like ****. The company now has a cheap workforce and the ability to change all conditions as they see fit. They don't care about how much money could be made in the short term, the board is looking far further out than that.
Even if we were the right size for all the demand that will occur when the borders open, you won't get any of the rewards - do you remember when CX made record profits but it wasn't enough to trigger a profit share?
So the best way to manage your relationship with the company is to work when it suits you, make the most of your days off and plan your exit.
Well said +1
