411A-it's refreshing to see people acknowledge the abuse of Chap 11, such as with old CO in '83, in order to void all labor contracts, despite negotiations having begun.
You hit the nail on the head regarding attitudes, and one of our 744 Captains who might already have retired, was on our jumpseat (commuting home)about a year ago, and described this situation which happened on his first flight over to Narita. Edited for brevity!
Anyway, that is only a drop in the bucket, regarding cabin "attitude" at my company (but seems to be apparent mostly on widebody crews), based on many chats with our widebody pilots-it would be interesting to find out what attitudes would be present if we were in Chapter 11. But I'm not saying that the only problems are 'back there'.
