Well considering how smooth an operation they've been able to run with the union fights and infighting, and the lack of contract, it really doesn't surprise me that they're willing to risk adding another union or three to the mix.

It's the employees who have been screwed in all of this, not the customer. Sure, there are stories of lazy FA's, surly FA's, and FA's who really need to go work somewhere else, but they're by far the exception and not the rule. If you can keep the customer relatively happy without actually fixing this problem, then there's less priority to fix it.

Not saying that makes it right, by any means. Just saying that upper management might not see it as being a deal-breaker.
