Groundstaff at outstations have been told any staff that leave won't be replaced. An already stretched workforce at the operational end will be even more overworked, the standard of service will drop further and we'll lose yet more customers and staff who simply can't cope with it any more.
On a recent A380 ULR returning to DXB, no pyjamas were provided for the 7 paying first class pax (forgot to be loaded ex DXB), and there was hardly any choices in the first class menu (outstation catering didn't load enough). Did anyone care? It wouldn't appear so. Treat your staff like **** and that's the level of service that the customer ends up getting. A great pity this airline has gone this way.
Meanwhile, the oxygen thieves in EGHQ continue to consume Costas at record levels while the ship sinks around them. We can only hope CM makes cuts where they can actually be afforded, and where they won't actually be missed.
