Do you know what's scary? This is being acted out in just about every industry across the world at the moment. Don't think that the airlines are alone in being afflicted by beancounters.
The pendulum will swing. The beancounters can't keep on treating people like just so many numbers in an accounting column. The worm(s) will turn. I just hope I'm around to witness it.
Good luck to all one-man armies across the world!!
