Dress these two idiots up as professionally looking clowns (hey, they'll even pay for their own uniform!), throw around some completely false and outdated statements like "safety is our number one priority" and create the image that pilots are overpaid and arrogant, and the dumb public will be even happier to step on board of that aircraft with 2 fatigued pilots in the cockpit and minimum fuel in the tanks.
Well said Bokkenrijder!!
I even wonder if the general public are aware that the FTL scheme is changing for the worse. Only after a smoking hole in the ground I suspect.
