Conan, you are spot on. *we* are all responsible for the situation in the industry. *We* all work within it, *we* are all affected by it.
It's not the royal "we" but the actual *we*, that is *us*, all of us in the industry.
Often we react with short term measures, neglecting the long term repercussions, or even ignoring the long term or failing to consider long term effects.
Pilots, Cabin Crew, ATC, Ground Crew, Mantainence, Management and so on, all of us in the industry work within the same industry, together and with the same goals.
