Fellas, better learn your lesson quickly (as opposed to those of us here at CX...!). The only way to ensure you are treated with proper professional respect is to subject your management to a short, sharp, shock. I can guarantee that they won't pay you a penny more than they are while the aircraft continue to operate normally (...why should they?). We have had to learn the hard way that the managements of airlines only understand power, and unless you wield it in your favour, they will wield it in theirs. Good luck
