Some people have lost sight of a few very very simple truths:
1. JQ and every other airline in the world are COMPANIES. The sole purpose of a company is to make money. You make money by increasing profits and reducing costs.
2. A company will reach a point where its unable to reduce costs any further because the employees will simply rebel and they will have a company with no staff or ineffective staff.
3. A company can only run this sort of program as long as there are people there willing to take it up. So clearly there is a significant demand for this sort of program in order for it to exist in the first place.
I repeat my previous challenge to all those drivers out there who dislike the cadets who are taking up this sort of program:
Put yourselves back in the shoes you were in when you started your career in GA. If you were offered this program would you honestly have said not because of the same reasons your telling me that I should say no?
