Stalling tactic's, PX are obviously hoping that all the pilots resign before the case gets to be heard, with no pilots all the problems will go away, Ray and Sam can kiss,cuddle and pat each other on the back and Simon can hide away in Rabaul and pretend the Airline is running just fine.
All good, problems solved,
Also if they leave all those pilotless planes sitting on the hardstand for long enough the squatters will move in, solving another png social problem of no cheap accomadation.
Its just a win win situation..........
