Exactly! This is the principle problem with current aviation management. I’d highly recommend reading ‘The next crash’, it portrays the American experience with cost cutting and ‘money now’ mindset of airline management and the impact on the health, safety and longevity of the industry as a whole. Although they are at the point now in the US that they’re reaping what they’ve sown and no amount of pay rises or sign-on bonuses will provide a real, long-term, solution.
