Maybe...but they would have lost much less money without the 22-29% pilot pay hike of 2000.
Secondly, who knows how much revenue was lost due to the "employee induced" work slowdown? For all we know, had some of the employees not "proven their point to management," maybe the company might have acutally made money or at least broke even in 2000.
Third...if a company has a business plan, where even during average economic times, they can't pay their bills even if everyone worked for free...what kind of business plan is that????
Fourth...as long as us aviators keep totally blaming management, instead of taking partial responsibility for causing the current state of the industry, we'll just see more and more and more and more of us on the street every month...as is happening now...and as it will happen for at least the next six months, maybe longer.
Rumor is that UAL might knock off another 25% of their list. That would take them from a pre 9/11 total of about 10,000, to about 7,000. A 30% cut in 2 years.
Fine...sit around and blame mangement...I hope you're high enough up on someone's seniority list (that won't go bankrupt) to have that luxury.
