My question would be what other recourse do you have when you have used all other avenues to no avail?
I agree absolutely. I gave up a chance to return to NZ when Ansett NZ pilots went on strike and the management pilots were trying to recruit 146 drivers in Europe, because I wouldn't compromise their strike action - so as you can probably tell, I am not against industrial action per se. However... the Ansett pilots were all out of work shortly afterwards. In my opinion, they were poorly advised by a union that was just itching to make a stand - but the staff paid the price in the end.
NJ pilots will do what they think is best
My concern is that they WON'T do what they think is best, they will allow themselves to be persuaded by a union that may not have their best interests at heart (as has happened many times before).

Why would the consortium want to borrow billions to buy the company if the margins and yields were not there or decreasing?
Having been there, I can tell you that there are many, many reasons, ranging from tax advantages to asset-stripping to government or local body aid to pension funds to... well hopefully you get the picture...

When do the workers of the world in your eyes have the right to stand up and say enough is enough. Why should the big wigs get all the profits, why should all the workers have to pay??? To stand up to these people is in your eyes whinging and that we should not put our companies out.
Are you a full paying member of the communist party, because that is what you are advocating!!
You clearly know as little about politics as you do about anything else. What YOU are suggesting is communism, what you THINK I am suggesting is the reverse. Except that you haven't even managed to figure out what I am talking about yet. I really do hope that they never let you take command of aircraft, you would obviously have trouble working out which way is up and which way is down...
And you may want to research the difference between communism and socialism.

Yes, they are destructive to all concerned, but so what?
You are obviously trying to wind us up, because nobody could possibly say something that stupid intentionally...
