Krusty,
I believe the error of the management team is far more fundamental than being pig headed.
As a manager, you must lead the way in implementing necessary change.
For example, if the company is having trouble holding and/or recruiting pilots, thats means both their "Practices" and "Package" is not competitive.
"Practices" are the tools used to deal with the everchanging industry ( LCC is a step in that evolution ).
"Package", whilst we are all saying more money, stable rosters, it really is not a negotiatable statement, like being able to lick your own testicles, you either can or can not
( i just wanted to see if testicles would be blanked out by pprune
).
