Curtain Rod,
Sorry for the confusion, but you really do write (and sound) like the geezer who is standing for election. I guess it's the 'Curtain' part of your handle!
cxorcist,
In the first world, with first world employment laws I would agree entirely with you but unfortunately we don't work in the first world. This time terminations will be handled better,; a kangaroo court will be held before summary dismissal but you can bet your bottom dollar that control and subjugation will win the day over fulfilling the AOC requirements for having sufficient crews. Flights are already cancelled due lack of crews, and no eyelids are batted. It's just the way our caring employer works. Don't be in any doubt, the end result will be very similar to last time. Now, do GDLC or Rod play cricket, or any other sport, for the ensuing book?
