There are loathsome characters, only caring about their own position and wallet. Luckily most guys I fly with have a total different, positive attitude towards the MP colleagues.
Regarding the current economic climate its very important that the MP deal is arranged and that everybody has a roof above their heads. When the economy picks up again we have an opportunity (and some leverage=MPcargo is generating a healthy profit) to shape-up the KL/MP deal, in favor of the MP guys. There is a lot of solidarity for the MP guys within KLM.
We don't know what Paris will do, but united we stand, divided we fall!
Take care
