WTC Attack - An excuse for job cuts?
We all know that the world's airlines have been struggling financially for some time now.
The main cause (as Richard Branson said himself on the BBC last night) is high fuel costs coupled with a drop in pax numbers.
Now BA announced before last week’s atrosities their plan to shed up to 6000 jobs, I bet they wish now they had waited. I'm sure that Virgin, Continental and others were just about to make similar announcements themselves. They now have the perfect excuse.
My deepest sympathies to those people involved in the terrible state of affairs in the US, but please airline CEO's don't make them an excuse to cut jobs.
