No Dragon. He's not aware. None of them have any self-awareness as to the type of people they are. That's typically the case with the sort of mindless paper-pushers that tyrannies employ. You only have to go back to the 1930's in Germany to understand what I mean. Faceless, cowardly and ultimately doomed. Our current management may think they have the upper hand, but what they have done is removed the very foundation of the airline, which was the loyal and dedicated support of the most professional aircrew complement in the industry. Now, they have managed to turn nearly 3000+ individuals against them, and most of us are actively working to see them fall. What a legacy. Morning coffee....?...I would think more like 'morning whiskey' after the realisation of what they have done sinks in.
(...and you are correct, the comment about replacement aircraft in a 'day'...bwahahaha. Shows you what planet these people inhabit. No aircrew, no aircraft. And even if they could, can you imagine the sheer chaos and
pr disaster that would prove to be. Please MC, you go ahead and wave your little magic wand and make a 'fleet' appear in a day. Fool)
