The thing that scares me about the constant cutting is getting into the same coffin corner that Pan Am found itself in 25 years ago.
The beancounters decided that regular and correct maintaining of aeroplanes was too high in cost and forced staff at threat of their jobs into shortcutting. This came to a head when a PA 732 was impounded by the FAA after operating 5 sectors with both turbines U/S dueto not developing minimum allowable power. I guess a crew member advised them on the sly to save his own butt.
I am not for a second saying this is happening now, but the way things are going - wtch for it and drop them in the deep end if they try it.
Personal experience over staff safety and fiscal balance is something I have experienced at TN, and quite a few of the "hush it up" kings are still on the chessboard. Trust noone - fill in the forms.
Best regards
