There is no airline/business in existence that exists purely to altruistically support its employees. Or if there is, it will not be around for long. There have been wrongs, some quite grievous, instigated by both parties in this 'dispute' at CX. And whether you like it or not, the only real issue is the 49ers. Of course many folk would say there is no dispute and that management has already laid down the winning hand. More about collateral damage for the AOA methinks.
