You seem to be ignoring the fact that making several thousand employees who conduct your primary business (this includes more than just pilots/AIPA members) really pissed off is not conducive to productivity and therefore shareholder returns.

Oh, BTW, I'm both a QF pilot and a shareholder (and one who can see the CEO making a complete hash of this through his arrogance). Where does that leave me?
