That is exactly the problem we face in CX. Both AT and DP have no respect or consideration for the aircrew. They are actively looking for ways to cut their pay, benefits and lifestyle solely to advance their own careers. Until we have two people in those positions who understand the issues we face daily (therefore need to be pilots themselves) we will not have the beginning of healing. I know we had RH years ago who was no better, but with the groundswell of resistance, the company could not dare to have someone in those positions now who isn't sympathetic and nurturing of our career goals. Time to clean house.
Yeah right The Gerry and Ken show made things so much better for the aircrew of the time...
