There is always a group of people in any society who do what they’re told, regardless of the stupidity or arbitrariness of the directive. The same people are always the first useful idiots to go in and bat for the authority, at no cost to the authority, demanding others comply with whatever the directive. They use every trick in the book to force compliance - like the false equivalences seen above. These are the people who are ideally suited to airline middle management.
Bad rules and directives made by bad people should never be followed blindly, nor enforced for free by drones with their false equivalences, shaming and gaslighting tactics. For pity sake, the COVID lockdowns were only a couple of years ago.
This is a bad rule, it’s not for safety, it’s to exert control and probably has some dips*#ts KPI bonus all over it. If mainline want subsidiaries to comply with mainline directives - mainline can comply with paying subsidiaries mainline pay for the same job.
