I wouldn't say the employees are " f*cked ". It was the employees and labor unions who drove the airline into bankruptcy in the first place.

If you google, the unions have secured multiple times of wage and benefit increments for the employees (TWU, APA, APFA), yet the stock hasn't been performing despite industry-leading wages and benefits for these employees.

And even after securing all these wage increments and benefits, the employees and their unions decided to put in a last-ditched attempt to block the release of DCR shares to shareholders.

So I'd put it as the airline and shareholders getting " fu*ked " by the employees, and not the other way round, consistently!
