I don't think she is brainwashed, rather just hoping we will believe her negotiating 101 strategy so she can get a big bonus next year. However, when flights are cancelled due to lack of crew, the buck stops at the GMA. When crew don't have any goodwill, or pressing financial incentive to go to work, how will they crew airplanes?? There comes a point where the most cost effective thing to so is give your employees a raise..... Or else they might just not give a rats behind. It will be interesting if RH's flight home for the holidays is cancelled due to crew shortage. Then, he finally would be affected by our plea for being treated fairly. It seems as if this is going to go on for a few months... When the profit comes out we will truly see the companies bluff. Perhaps that is when things will escalate beyond complying with our contract.
