Unfortunately, people have been led to believe that they really aren't worth what they use to be paid. The huge amount of people willing to fly for pennies probably hasn't helped, but like many industries, the big airlines decided they were going to go for it ALL. They were going to have connections to all big cities, flights to all national and international destinations, and somehow be the "best" at everything, and make a huge profit to please their shareholders (the only people that matter in this world)
But we have seen that it doesnt work that way. speciality companies like jetblue, airtran, swa, etc all are doing a great job getting a smaller market share, and concentrating on certain types of flying. thats probably why swa isnt rushing to fly international or to hawaii. these huge companies thought they could all own the world, and they failed. their management is at fault, but now they are putting the blame on the people who always get it, the workers.
I dont know what to say about all these situations, because an industry wide strike would probably never happen, but people need to stand up for themselves.
