What would be wrong with informing the pilots about the new "policy," so we're all in the loop? Why should something like this, if it absolutely must be instigated by some petty, small-minded individual, then be kept a BIG SECRET??? It speaks volumes of the opinion of the pilots by management that they do not even bother to let the news out in advance of the action. It also says something of of a certain lack of integrity that they obviously know it will be unpopular and therefore slip in the new "policy" duing the SNEAKY cover of darkness and without anyone taking credit for it. Gutless and without balls.
