I've followed this thread from a distance and am aghast at the attitude of some of the militants who wouldn't last five minutes in our/my sector of the industry (bizjets). I've been accused of being too picky when choosing crew and sometimes felt guilty for being so demanding but if that spared me from the likes of the dinosaurs described here I feel vindicated.
Take a good look at industrial relations history particularly that of the 70's. British Leyland, the shipyards, coal mines. Wonder why they don't exist any more?
You're digging your own graves.
