I'm not going to take umbrage at suggestions that I be the one to "Grow up". You're entitled to your opinion as you quite correctly state.

I would however suggest that what our Grandparents fought for was the very survival of our national way of life, and to do so they were fighting a system where millions of civilians had already been murdered.
It's a little bit of a different league to a moan about work, wouldn't you say?
I think if you're going to draw historical comparisons then someone like the Tolpuddle Martyrs may be a more apt comparison. (Google it if your grasp of History is as tenuous as your grasp on reality).

These people were employed by an airline.
They were employed in the role of customer services (basically)
They were employed in a safety-driven industry.

So, what do they do?

They slag off their customers as "Chavs"
They slag off the safety of the aircraft and the airline with nothing more substantial than anecdotal "evidence", hearsay and gossip.
They do it all on a public forum.

Are you honestly surprised when their employer wants rid of them?

They deserved what they got. Whether the airline is capable of bringing itself into disrepute is neither here nor there. If you bite the hand that feeds you that's what you'll get.

Rant over. As you were.
