Union-busting
Perhaps might not be such a bad idea from any sensible intellectual perspective? The problem here is that everyone is stuck in the past. It's time to move on? The world is almost bankrupt so it might be a good time to regroup?

Is it so difficult to understand that the world has changed, especially in the aviation business?
