Exactly.
Flight crews who are engaged in *positive* ways can make a hugely profitable operation.
But flight crews who are bitter and alienated can and WILL cost the operation thousands and thousands of dollars--especially if the aircraft is equipped with a fuel jettison mechanism.
Managers who regard their crews as something more than just another "cost unit" have learned this lesson and reap the rewards.
The rest, well, they usually hop like fleas from one mangy carcass to the other--parasites that they are.
