Why should anyone get used to "having their teeth kicked in" Anthony? Just because you work for a company that values its staff doesn't make you spoiled.
In all industries there are tales of these magical, friendly organisations that pay properly and have great terms, conditions and life styles, unfortunately in the aviation world these are few and far between. It doesn't mean that we should allow our selves to be treated like s**t.
Your example AC shows what a divided bunch we all are and that organisations like BALPA have been almost worse than useless in the many areas of industrial strife. Why didn't we hear about it? Why did you not post it yourself when you saw it happening?
This thread however, is not about whether certain jobs exist or not, but about how people with mortgages to pay and families to bring up have been subjected to a mangement style with all the sensitivity of Genghis Khan with a hangover. Businessess SHOULD be about more than just profits, providing a safe and secure working environment often will bring rewards back to the business as well as the employee.
Just look at how Lockheed (I think) ran their factories during ww2. Good pay, creches, housing and more. Yet they were THE most profitable aviation company of the era with a workforce that had virtually no turnover and even now are gushing in their praise of the boss-man.
