The Company have exposed their Achilles tendon: they need to keep airplanes moving or all of them from Ivan on down might as well stay at home. If airplanes continue to be idle for any amount of time Ivan on down might be pulling out their resumes to jump ship.
The girls were smart enough to figure that out and then how to go about it: merely the "THREAT" of strike action was enough to get all they wanted. Overnight.
So what have we learned?
The Company fears strike action from any group that can stop airplanes moving and will do what it takes to prevent strike action.
What's it gonna take?...........courage. Then concerted action. And we know who needs to pick up the ball to get things rolling.
