I could have flown from STN to the place I need to go to in a couple of weeks for about €30 with Ryanair. Instead it's going to cost the company €1387 for me to fly with a real airline......
If I went to my FD showing this contempt for shareholders (or even worse taxpayers) funds because I didn't like what I'd read on an Internet bulletin board he would rip me a new a-hole. Of course the pilots should be able to unionise, and they have a right to bargain collectively, but it's not your job or mine to make moral decisions on how to spend anybodies money except our own.
And stop off at Boots on the way to the back of the plane and get yourself one of those bargain meal deals, might save my taxes a few more quid.
