ST don't like recruiting for new Driver's as it leaves them exposed to the question "Why are you always recruiting? Why can't you retain staff?" In turn, ST becomes reliant on the remaining crew doing OT to cover the roster, and when those crew decide they don't want to do that OT anymore, the network collapses. .
Insert Qantas, Jetstar, Virgin, or any of the operators into the beginning of this statement. Modern MBA theories ruining business across the globe
