There are too many hangers on in the back offices. Too many baggage handlers earning 6 figure salaries. Too many Managers who have built their petty departments into enormous white elephants by adding extra ass lickers and pencil pushers at every opportunity. Too many 9-5'ers in a round-the-clock airline. Too much waste on useless crap, like Staff Development centres (mainly serving the 9-5 ers). Too much inefficiency from useless fools who can't even order up a ground power unit, or meet an incoming aircraft on time. Too many subsidised staff canteens for the 9-5'ers to slack off in. Too many lunch breaks. Too many tea breaks. Too many Fag breaks. Too many knock-offs at 4PM on a Friday. Too many subsidised staff parties. Too much heirarchy. Too little accountability
Oh my GOD! You
DO work here in Aer Lingus!!
There's your cost savings in one paragraph. I'm glad someone else sees this waste for what it really is. Well Done Cpt Kremin.
