looks like they want to make sure that there is no airline left by the time they stop paying commission
Shhh. The LY lovers here will stone you...

Many of them here won't love LY anymore if their comms are cut....
Besides, LY under this new moron has little to do with the trying-to-improve El Al of the past few years. The name El Al is pretty much the only thing that's left of the airline. Won't be surprised to see him cancel some of the Dreamliner orders to cut costs....

Moreover, El Al regularly sets a schedule in which flights are not fully manned in advance. Placement staff telephone pilots every day, all day, to crew flights despite the fact that the flights were planned long since.

In this way not only does El Al put many flights in question, but it also conducts its business wastefully, since a pilot assigned ad hoc to a flight that was not in his original schedule is paid more. Was this the reason for the cancellation of the flight to Boston and of the previous flights?
That's crazy
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

What's the story with this? Is LY stopping to pay TA commissions?

industrial quiet

Am I wrong in reading this as a literal translation of an Israeli/Hebrew term that isn't used outside of Israel?

IINM they mean labor relations truce.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

They meant to say "industrial peace", which is frequently used in  collective agreements
