Hi Tuck,
A serious question with no malice intended:
You obviously work for the airline that you are criticising and I understand that you are frustrated by decisions made in the past.
What I can't understand is that you continue to work for a company that you clearly think is doomed to fail because of poor recent management decisions. If you are so sure (well sure enough to to spend hours on PPRUNE venting) about the trajectory of your company, why don't you leave? Wouldn't it be better to jump off the ship before it sinks? There are plenty of job opportunities out there at the moment and based on your pseudonym, as well as being an airline pilot, you are a very capable military pilot.
Why not change employers and work for a company whose strategy is satisfactory to you or go back to the military or one of their training providers? I'm sure those beneath you in your seniority system would appreciate it.
Once again, no malice intended, just an outsider trying to understand your position.
