Sprite:-- and just think what 100% reduction would save, oh hang on....
According to the 2014 annual report for CX, total staff costs ( 33,000 staff of which 3,000 are crew ) account for 18% of total expenses. ( of that maybe 5% would be Pilots )
Which one is the biggest cost to CX????
FUEL.
Same for QF, the problem is that they have an old gas guzzling fleet that uses
TOO MUCH FUEL.
That is
NOT the fault of the crew.
