Cloud B., fear not, to close STN is suicide, let's all get real for a moment. He has f!cked up a lot recently, the last thing he will do is closing STN, that would be like cutting probably about 30% of his revenue, and send a panic message to the market.
As for PB, who cares? This guy has very low self esteem, but WB was the same and no doubt the next one will be. Forget them. Let's concentrate on recognition. I do slightly disagree with you about changes, yes ideally they should happen from the top, but I wouldn't bet on that happening naturally. The changes need to come from US, we need to bring BALPA, the rot has to be sent back up again.
And yes, he will throw his toys out of the pram, no doubt. Again, no bullsh!t, this will happen, we will not avoid it. There is no nicy nicy way out of where we are. So there will have to be patience and sacrifices before it gets MUCH better. Again, same old question, what's the alternative? As you say, IT HAS TO BE DONE!!
