Airbus Unplugged
The final third of your post,#287, is of particular interest. I'm not suggesting that this is good or bad, but increasing consumer power doesn't come without sacrifice for which employees bear the most of these costs and not owners of capital. Return on labour plunges while return on capital grows which is good for the company.
I do sympathise with your situation but is the proportion of capital in BA that goes to employees in decline even though you put in more hours? I say No.
I think what's happening here is that capital is aligning with power (consumer) and we're seeing a new alliance. Would this alliance be enough to keep/create more jobs & over time in the flight deck? I say yes.
