JAL's troubles

G'day gents,

Have you guys heard about Jal's latest financial situation? In order to stay in play they will have to cut 6,800 jobs or 14% of their workforce and reduce international prencese. I believe the planned cut will put for first time J pilots on the street. We, expat pilots, are definitively a better option for airlines not only cause we get paid less but because they don't have to deal with a union, only with a leasing company. However if Jal get rid of some pilots or if eventualy goes out of business, I don' t think we will see too many round eyes flying in Japan. What do you think?
