"...i'm not management..., just a 10 yr retired skipper..." haha, you need to give it a rest mate. You are a complete management troll. If you had been around this past 20yrs or so you would have had far more than 10 posts on PPRUNE. Further, your reaction says everything we need to know about who you are. To attack Traf, and not the management certifies that you are management. Any pilot (retired or otherwise) would know that everything Traf (and others) says is the unadulterated truth. You are as transparent as a piece of crystal. As BusyB say, the management are the termites. They have corroded the airline from the inside out. The pilots are the ONLY group of employees who have kept their integrity and professionalism intact. At least they are not corrupt, venal and incompetent. Report back to your superiors that we are done with playing the game by their rules. The vast majority of us are looking for employment with companies that will treat us with a modicum of respect. It's not even about the money, but honesty and stability (never mind living back home and giving our families a proper, healthy environment to grow and enjoy). You and your self-centered cronies have pushed this one step too far, and now you will suffer the consequences. Good luck with crewing the aircraft the next few years. And doubly good luck with your holiday operational planning. Aircraft don't fly themselves. However, the operation would continue to function if every management cretin stayed home.
