I think Will Fraser answered your concerns. Corporations spend money on investment bank advice, corporate law opinions and compensation consultants to provide a smoke screen for their personal interests. Flight crews are cannon fodder. Thats why you cultivate corporate law firms so that the crews are always to blame and head office doesn't have to accept any responsibility for their hiring practices (but still get to collect their bonuses). Notice I didn't say anything about passengers. There will always be marks willing to spent any amount of money to attend to sick relatives, corporations who believe the business school mantra of face-to-face meetings on the other coast and the all-important government business trips. This is free money that goes to head office, the expenses get covered by dumping the people in the middle who actually keep the juggled balls in the air.
