Unfortunately we've hired a bunch of people in the past 14 years who are completely clueless as to the company or actually any large public company and what happens when your actions start costing them money.
Anyone who thinks they wouldn't do mass sackings again needs their head examined. Seriously. When the 330s were grounded the company had no problem finding a bunch of aircraft to wet lease short term. When SARS hit the company showed it had a bunch of cash to ride out the storm. You're just a pilot, you're not irreplaceable.
If and when the board gets tired of the pilots something will happen. Institutional investors with billions in the company are calling for new contracts. When I see comments on here like "victory is ours" or "we're just doing our contract" I wonder how so many can be so naive.
Looking ahead, I hope there's dialogue.
