Employees have to take stand at some point. Make the execs reduce capacity and raise ticket prices.

Which employees would volunteer to get laid off to realize the cost savings from reducing capacity?

At what pay level do you prefer to be laid off, get your package and find another job? Another 20%? I'll find something else to do.

Of course, I know the pilots and other seniority based union guys are in a different situation as they get locked in. It's a travesty how the whole seniority thing works. It keeps you attached to one company. You can't just up and leave and retain your seat and aircraft.

I may get paid peanuts compared to the pilots but at least I can leave and improve my pay rather than get stapled to the bottom of a seniority list. The unions really need to rethink how this gets handled for their own good.
