This is indeed a sad day without precedent in aviation and whatever happens things will never be the same again!.
It is a watershed and (without knowing the particulars) CEO AJ's reaction appears to be way over the top.
His pay-rise (on the face of it) seems outrageous under the circumstances.
Also management/union relations must really have hit to floor for things to have escalated to this extent.
Pistols at dawn!
Lets hope management puts it's gun back it the holster or at least gets a good winging by unions next
, or otherwise as mentioned here earlier we are all screwed
