Lately it seems that smart business usually involves cutting labor. We had cost cutting (non labor) smart business at CAL for years before they came to us. What Legacy pilots might see in this news is perhaps the end of one of the reasons why we were told we had to take the cuts. Not the end of B6 but maybe a little pressure to raise fares to increase revenue. All we hear from mgt. is about high fuel costs and low ticket yield because of LCCs. If B6 can't make money charging $99 to get to FLL from JFK that is a good thing. If we can all get the yields up then we can all start talking about raises. Right now the attitude seems to be how cheaply can we do this (labor included) and not go out of business before the next guy. It costs $45 to take a cab from NYC to JFK and sometimes $34 more than that to go to Florida. That is not good for pilots anywhere. If Branson comes in and starts charging $10 for a transcon you'd be happy if he couldn't make a profit. A little bad news for B6 may help keep my pay from going down to what they make and in the long run help prove (along with SWA) that labor's not the problem and cutting labor is not the answer.
Skank said:Actually this whole predictable thread is based on the headline that some nutroll analyst wrote. If you read Owen's remarks there is nothing in there other than the usual CFO talk about watching costs. I don't see any implicit, or explicit signal that they are coming for pay reductions. If you all feel better thinking that thye are coming after our pay then knock yourselves out. It certainly wouldn't bode well any of us.
