All you Atlas mainline and AACS pilots better get up to speed on the industrial relations front. Read the book, confessions of a union buster by Marty Levit. note the similarities.
A captain I flew with long ago told me "All the crooks are in the Aviation or oil business" he is right.
THe actions of the company are not anew. it is the same old card trick. why do they use the same one? because it is effective, unless the pilot group has solidarity! First they divied, then they conquer!
