Capt. U
You are correct, zero balls and thats the bottom line.
As to not taking upgrades being absurd. well what do you think would most adversely affect CX: (a) not having pilots filling captain slots, or (b) you guys helping out the 49ers financially.?
Incidentally, working off your logic surely it would be better to welcome more pilots on to the property so that you could also tap the new hires for contributions to the 49ers. I am sure they would be delighted to contribute the same percentage as the rest of the pilot group. This would mean that they are taking the exact same 'industrial action' as everybody else would it not?
Nobody is saying what happened was fair or pretty. however it is widely acknowledged that the pilot group's reaction in defense of the 49ers was pitiful. strike one for the AOA. Then without taking any action they go to the marketplace and ask others to sacrifice their careers so their individual situation can improve.
its like rugby, men. when your is son growing up and learning to play make sure you teach him to tell the other boys to make the tackle so you can get the ball
