Unfortunately, The Swire Group only knows and has only ever deployed one method of coping with a crisis, "cuts". Each department will be told to cut by 20-30% regardless of their value and need. The airline will shrink by 20-30% overnight and the managers will be able to say that costs have dropped. But this time around that will not suffice. A total restructuring will be needed. This means some departments will not be needed at all and others will need increasing. A total restructure means a total rethink of how the airline works. Top to Toe dictatorships, masonic led flight ops teams, golf buddy engineering teams,fear driven ISD will need dismantling. The problem employees face is that The Swire Group doesn't have the capacity or will to do this. So the restructuring we will see shortly will be "cuts" disguised by clever words but the operating system will remain the same. Unfortunately, this is now obsolete. When the big investors see this they will pull the plug. The proof is that of all the major airlines in the world only The CX Group has not uttered a word of what they will do. This isn't because they have found the secret to survival and the others haven't. It's because they don't have any new plan just dusting off the Swire Answer "CUTS" and hope for the best.
