Hopefully Mueller does a Ronald Reagan on it and just sacks the lot of them.
Well, I would never be happy to see people lose their jobs but I have to say that when I heard this evening that the union had "warned" the airline about the consequences of taking action against staff who are, in effect, dictating to the management when they will or will not work, I wondered what world do these people really live in or is it a case of blindly following instructions from union leaders with their own agenda.
The added instruction to CC by the union to refuse to work at all on the Washington-Madrid route may well be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
If EI advertised for CC jobs tomorrow there'd be thousands from the 450,000 men and women currently unemployed queing for their jobs - and happy to tell the union to off in the process.
I wonder what tomorrow will bring. If Mueller is to retain any credibility for future negotiations it's hard to see him reneging on his threat to take action.
