Yes I do have a relationship with cabin crew, and pilots, and ground crew, and office staff.
I've been actively involved in the airline business since I grew hairs I can sit on, and I've seen it all before, and my bottom line is that I think it is sad to have come this far. I blame both sides equally, in being ridiculous and manipulating, neither one will come out shining from this.
Once again this is a mirror image of previous disputes, it has happened before and the end result will be the same, resentments that linger on for years.
