The line IS VERY CLEAR here!
DO NOT PAY TO WORK!!
This must end. Now.
If they would do so in my company, there would be an immediate strike, by ALL pilots until the management gave in, and believe me, if you strike they will give in. This is one case where we can have the public supporting us, and management WILL be described as the devil by the press. SO STRIKE STRIKE STRIKE to all working in airlines involved!!!
