Both of the above two posts are spot on. If sickness rates are not spiking from October forward, I would be very shocked. This negotiation is clearly no such thing. The need for cuts is a ruse to cover mismanagement. Trainers ought to be resigning en masse. Upgrades should slow to a trickle. The rosters should all fall apart. Flights should delay or cancel. Look at your rosters and tactically pick the most disruptive spots to book off unfit and/or fatigued. It's past time to grow some balls or this career won't be worth saving. Seriously, if things are business as usual for you, ask yourselves why you do nothing.
