Mr. Tyler either has absolutely no understanding of the issues at hand or else he is being deliberately disingenuous and indulging in the lowest form of media manipulation to sway public opinion. If the former, then he has no right mouthing off to the press and if the latter then he deserves everything he is going to get.
The third possibility is that, for some insane reason, he (under orders) is trying to provoke a sickout/strike/further industrial action in order to achieve what has probably been a long term goal - namely to provide the excuse to fire the lot of us and re-hire the desperados who they mistakenly believe are going to come galloping back in droves. I say insane because that will not happen. There will be a few, maybe even a few hundred, but to get the airline back in shape will take years (if it ever happens) and the current expansion plans will be kicked into touch forever. Great idea guys! Whose brainwave was that?
