Geez, this is a problem for me. I'm gleeful about my anticipation regarding Air Canada's end being accurate, albeit a little early. But, no matter how much Robert Milton deserves the mantle of failure permanently sewn to his shoulders, I can't help but figure that Hargrove's got a hand in this. See this Globe and Mail piece (Air Canada gets 'no' from CAW).
Hard call here. On one side, I wouldn't be willing to give up more salary to save the organization if I were making an average of $35,000 - 49,000, while the executive cadre -- led by Baron von Milton -- is hardly taking any of the suffering in this. Particularly if I'd given in for the greater good before.
On the other hand, the world is a somewhat different place and the Westjets and Zooms of the world, operating on lower labour structures, are going to be part of the end of my job -- at any salary.
I dunno. C'est toute la faute de Milton!
