What obligation do pilots' labor representatives have to perform as Boeing
PR flacks?
Boeing can put on the big boy pants and make actual changes (like replacing the C-suite) or continue business as usual, the latter of which seems to be the plan.
I imagine a lot of single aisle Boeing pilots are pondering whether a switch to Airbus might be a better choice for career progression.
