I want to believe this, but I can’t. Seniority is everything. At 400k+ they aren’t going to take the hit unless they are wanting to retire anyway. I know a bit about United Airlines and the pilots there totally gave in. It was sad to see.
Why is this hard to believe? I have friends in most airlines and they will be the first to tell you (in private of course), that they can easily bring down the whole system. United Airlines, well you said you already know, so I won’t beat a dead horse. cheers
Are not most pilots ex-military? Military are trained to obey. Added to that the money you just mentioned.
