The question has to be asked about all this profit by degredation of staff numbers.GD has to continue making profits to please the shareholders.He has done this by reducing employment wage bills.Numbers may be up pax wise, but what about yield?.
Employees wages bill is an easy target for savings.Now he has reduced staff numbers to cater for this and we are on minimum numbers eg LAMES having to work OT to keep the airline running .Just one example .What can he do next year?
