It can hardly be the same staff who, in more recent times, routinely cause worry, upset and anxiety to their passengers with threats of strike to such an extent that even their own so-called loyal customers won't risk booking with them any more.
Ah yes of course, it's the *staff* that decided to do these things, just out of the blue, with no thought for anyone else. Of course. Silly me.
Nothing driving them to it? Just consistent unilateral action in response to no external forces? Get a grip man/(woman). No one walks out on the job just for the hoola. It's rarely the first step, more like the climax of a marathon of other issues.
Given stranded in YYYY with EI or FR or EZY, which staff group would probably help go out of their way to help?
