    The guy locked himself in the cockpit of a standing plane after, as reported, 5 months of un- or underpaid labor with some flight neccessities being paid by himself. No one was in any danger, and only employer is to blame there. Although the information comes from the side of the pilot alone and is questionable, the stance of the blog writer is obviously pro-corporate as they compare this to hijacking, like real hijacking in the air, and not a comparatively harmless stake pilot actually did.

      Much more effective to demand back wages when you’re circling the airline HQ building with the CEO onboard.

        I’m a safe playa and am after peaceful agreements avoiding possible charges, but if it doesn’t work one can go full San Andreas and ride the whole directors’ board on a highway strapped to a moving aircraft ladder. Oh no, there is a low bridge nearby. It’s so, so unfair that they are fixed in a hierarchical order and the first in command are now directly endangered :(
