deptrai,
You're welcome, I'm glad to read less cynical theories than mine but with recent moves in fresh memory (treatment of pax, staff, laws, fiddling with taxes and such), my gut feeling resembles what one would feel after too much spicy food
If problems with brakes on an airplane and crews exceeding FDT are force majeure, I think that a bancruptcy preceeded by a serious strike would be claimed the same...
If we could (based on our very limited insight on this matter) right away determine what's legal or not, I'm sure our time would be worth too much to sit here on a gossiping network.
I guess time will tell, for our future's sake I hope that I'm completely wrong.
