AI started aligning the proverbial Swiss cheese about 2 years back.
First they reduced the benefits for their staff and chased a lot of their experienced national pilots to the Gulf and elsewhere.
Then they started picking at the expat force.
Then they lowered the maintenance standards.
And of course nobody from management paid attention to the brooding and demotivation spreading like fire among employees, while in parliament the deputies kept bickering over the next bail-out package for the ailing National carrier!
So finally they managed to do the alignment job.
Question was not if, but when and how many would loose their lives!
