fait accompli
AJ's announcements implied the pay freezes & the equivalent of 5000 full time jobs to go as a certainty.
Meanwhile, we are collectively struggling to see where the 5000 jobs will come from.
So too, the Enterprise bargaining processes when it comes time to negotiating labour agreements.
As mentioned by a different poster earlier on this thread. The vast majority of mainline pilots aren't prepared to give this mob ANY pay freeze.
