You did it again! You're sustaining our point, brilliantly.


US carriers had their salaries lowered in agreements to prevent more jobs to be shed in more than one occasion

1. "in agreements" versus just "imposing" new conditions. To most civilised people this makes a very distinct difference.

2. "to prevent more jobs to be shed" versus the "sacking" culture developped by EK lately. You end up with less employees, but allthough you might feel fear to lose your job in both systems, the latter shoves this fear right down onto your daily work and is completely arbitrary, not even evoking safety....


For those who still don't get it, and believe this happens only at EK

We do get it, believe me. But such arguments are silly. Just because waterboarding was used in Guantanamo, it does not make it less despicable for Scotland Yard to use it as well. It's a civil right that anyone can defend himself irrespective to what happened to others.


This does not apply to the modern world anymore

Such a quote is not only fatalistic, but worse, it's cynical, because it therefore legitimates deterioration. Reminds me of Dick's hogwash in some way.
