However, the issue that I raised was the lack of trust between pilots and managements,and your comments don't really address that aspect. Aren't many airline managers ex pilots?Do they change their spots when they go into management!!And how can mutual trust be earned ? Serious question.

Yes, most of the managers who were pilots that I worked under did change their spots. They became very goal orientated and the goal was to maximise profits by cutting costs. The concept of yield management et al were left to salesmen (most of whom started life as barrow boys)
