B767Longhaul....what's your point exactly?
Not sure what point you are trying to make, if any.
I am a pilot NOT an airline operator and/or owner. I am only responsible for my particular job description.
If you work you expect to get paid. A simple concept.
If I work and do not get paid, I, will do something about it. If by doing something about it, I can assist others in getting paid, that's good, don't you think.
If you accept not being paid, then I feel sorry for you.
Northeast allowed their AOC to be used by an operator who did not pay the crew. Under the USA legal system, Northeast bare some, if not all, of the responsibility (talk to your attorney).
Ultimately, it's all a question of ball size and how far you are prepared to be used and abused.
N.B. Northeast have NOT yet repatriated their cabin crew in Burkina Faso.
