Cloud surfer, we are aware of our competition, and measures are being taken (and have been for some time now) to both cut expenses as well as making things more efficient

. A little bit here and a little bit there, in all areas of operations, goes many miles at the end of the day and it`s all summed up

. It`s certainly a race to the bottom (for everyone) and it`s been accelerating the last few years. More and more airlines popping up, having lower operating costs, takes its toll for sure. So the big question I keep asking myself; is this the beginning of the end of the dinosaurs aviationwise?
Cloudius, you must keep in mind that SAS added 5 years to the bottom a few years back, and has had no need to increase it since they haven`t recruited in a long long time. You must also understand that the terms salary and days off/on are 2 of the things that go into the T&C pot in every airline. And if you measure salary by sectors... well, there is more than one way to get to Rome
