I thought this story from the BBC might be of interest in the context of BA's ongoing attempts to improve operational efficiency:
BBC NEWS | Business | SAS to cut more than 1,000 jobs
It's about a further round of cost cuts at SAS. I know SAS is a bit of a basket case generally, but it's interesting how similar the review there appears to be to that currently underway at BA. The only difference is one of scale.
SAS is looking for further job cuts (it announced an initial cull back in February), as well as a 10-20% cut in flight crew and cabin crew pay and benefits. Note the reasoning behind these further cuts:
"...it is essential that we now completely close SAS's cost gap with our competitors"
