The other tell was the standard appeal regarding unions as the devil children of Karl Marx.
One of the biggest fallacies in this country in how we discuss work and compensation is the notion that somehow wage rates are tied to input, or hours worked. This is a fallacy that we have Karl Marx and his labor theory of value to thank for, because the reality is that wage rates are instead determined by output, i.e. how much value is generated for the company as a result of your work.
As I called it, this hit piece on the pilots uses recognizable clichés and talking points.
