So in your scenario:

Airline Middle Manager: "Big Boss CEO, we are in trouble! We have a fleet of 200 aircraft, but only pilots to cover 150 of them!"

Big Boss CEO: "That's unfortunate! Let's fire 33% of the workforce and get rid of 100 aircraft. Solved!" *mike drop gesture*

Airline Middle Manager: *teary eyed slow clap*

Anyone else see the flaw in this reasoning?
