"They do, Kaptin M, because they can (as in...."they is the bosses"). ".
That's fine 411 (mind if i call you by your first number - after all, 2 areas of common ground within the ONE topic must be a record for YOU!).
And similarly, "An Army of One is likewise saying that PILOTS can do what is spelt out therein, BECAUSE THEY CAN!
There is nothing illegal nor immoral about working within the framework, and to the letter, of the agreed and signed conditions - and after all, it MUST be these fundamental principles upon which the airline operation has been financially budgeted.
It's also pretty obvious that any EXTRA money-saving techniques a pilot may incorporate into his operation are only adding the extra pennies into the MANAGEMENT'S pockets!!
"An Army of One" might perhaps be precised to "You'll get what you pay for!", put another way,"Pay for monkeys and get peanuts in return!
