If you mean airline management of the 1920's back when you were doing it, you are right. Airline management of today is a bloodsport perpetrated by the likes of Lorenzo, Ichan, Bergt, et. al. If you want to include yourself, go ahead. Airline managers of today only understand one thing.....money. There is no corporate loyalty (witness AACS, Atlas furloughs, Atlas layoffs, Com Air, etc. etc) the only way to make an impact on these guys is to cost them money.
Do you think I want to strike? NONE of us do. It is, however, the only way to make these guys understand that we need to be paid more, and need better work rules. And to make them realize that without us they would have no 5.3 million dollars a year(salary and bonuses). We have not had a pay raise in 8 years. Not since the beginning. THEY (and you) need to take economics 1A again. And while they are at it they should take Ethics in Business again.
While we all agree that MC was not a people person, he did have a dream, and obviously that dream died with him. He never would have allowed Atlas to get in this position in the first place.
