Point #1: ok...airlines are reporting record profits, soaring plane orders, expanding routes and so forth
Point #2: yet...the economy is tanking, fuel prices are out of wack, travel demand is down, etc, etc
Solve the following: If Point #1 is true, then how does that compute with Point #2?
Choose from the following answers:
1) Management continues efforts to beat down labor and their costs to please the only important people in the equation: mgmt and shareholders.
2) Labor costs too much in any economy. Labor costs are the enemy. Must reign in labor costs with any amount of propaganda necessary.
3) Contract negotiations. Labor costs too much. If we give them anything back for their sacrifices then the company will evaporate overnight. In fact, paycuts would allow the company to prosper for eternity - guaranteed!
Thanks for playing.
