You are witnessing the new world order as it pertains to pilots.
They (and you) thought that Milton was bluffing. He does not bluff.
They believed that they should 'draw a line in the sand'. Without realizing that airlines around the world today will not pay what pilots believe they should be paid.
They believe that they cannot be replaced, when there are thousands of acceptable pilots in Canada alone that would take their job in a heartbeat and do it just as fine as the current crop.
They believe that they should show AC who is boss and they just found out.
I don't deal with strident pilots. I merely expect them to fly the plane.
As a customer, I expect Milton to deal with strident pilots. And to get results. And to buy new planes.
In other words, I don't care about philosophy, ideological agendas, etc. I care for results and new planes. I submit that's Milton's job and this was a major failure on his part.
