Think carefully. Do you remember when Regan fired all of
the air flight controllers who went on strike?

IOW: Management doesn't care, because there are plenty more
where they came from. The attitude toward flight attendants
is to let them quit, that way they can hire 2 for the price
of one. For the Airlines it's just like getting a divorce:
turn in a 40 and get two 20's.
