Well, the AFA called it a "kick in the teeth" to the FAs and other employees:

fastair -- if I look through that thread, there are some FTers who expressed sympathy and understanding towards the employee position. Do you still have that asbestos suit around that you put on for this post in that thread? Because you might need it here. I am very tempted to re-write that post, replacing employees with elite customers etc. to see how it would fit into this thread

Back to channa -- very good post that I agree with completely.
