Some of the best ideas originate from the people who actually do the job, but operationally most employees are hamstrung by "cost leadership" management and over arching HR.
This is true, but this is an airline that almost has a culture of ignoring bad news (at least up until now)... like posting a big thing on LinkedIn a few months ago saying "We're going naked!!!"... reading it, it was about bloody lipstick... this is a place where there is more discussion day to day about whether the 3rd Cabin Crew at the back or the 6th check in agent from the left is wearing the correct shade of red lipstick... the expression 'fiddle while Rome burns' comes to mind... if PS is to be successful, he needs to make sure of the 750, most are those who spend their day swanning from one place to another checking lipstick colour and/or wording about the arrangement of flowers at the check in desk and get people who know what the hell they're doing and have the basic ability to prioritise operationally. I always imagine the NZ bail out as being typified by the parrot sketch... "this is a dead parrot"... "No, it's just sleepin' look, it's got positive free cash flow..."
