Tipsy, I do take umbrage at your assertion that all the MAS employees were yellow bellied. We do have pilots who tried to put up a good fight but unfortunately were done in by fellow pilots and MAPA. MAPA turned a blind eye when seniors were bypassed; snaky pilots brown nosed to get themselves promoted ahead of others.
Having said that, Tipsy merely reiterated an " inconvenient " truth. There are plenty of chickens amongst MAS ranks, running away clucking to their coops whenever the management turn on the heat. Most are jaguh kampung, boasting to relatives, ex- school mates, friends about the great job as MAS pilots but utterly impotent facing the onslaught of deteriorating T & Cs.
I have no magic solution but we need to grow a little spine; to tackle the MAS malaise, we need to get rid of the patrons of the corrupt ranks of the upper management. To do that, we need to ensure that the SB doesn't go around threatening labour activist with the much hated ISA. So much to do folks, are you up to it?
