I think Flying Tiger is giving some good, sound, economic advice. Although I'm unsure about...
I am a pilot and I say unashamedly that any inefficiencies affect profit, price competitiveness and therefore growth. As such, they bear a direct negative impact on the ability of the airline to put new aircraft on the ramp, which in turn affects promotional prospects
Why would promotional prospects feature on anyone's radar? After the FAs are all replaced by Thais, the pilots replaced with remote systems operated by call-centre type ops from India, or Thais, and of course that grossly inefficient management team replaced with far more sustainable , cost effective , people (like, say, a Thai MBA or two- you could get 400 just for Dixons pay alone!).
Why you all keep mentioning people , or their aspirations, is just beyond me. Labour is just a cost......




As are consulting firms who try and run interference on industrial issues by posting on PPRUNE etc.
