Like US carriers NAI hires cabin crew in countries where minimum wages are essentially non existent. Yet, I don't read any protests against that, let alone picketing American Airlines on that issue.

What about big business in your back yard? Lowes, The Home Depot. Apple. goods manufactured overseas with substandard labour laws at best.... Yet I don't see anyone out there picketing to protect US jobs.

A Yield war is not going to be successful. This is not like a US carrier moving in on another Domestic carrier's territory to move them out to gain access to a particular route.

I lived and flew or a Low Cost carrier in Eruoland. Cheap fairs is at the top of the list of both business and vacation travelers. It was interesting to observe European mainline carriers complain, about a relatively young carrier with a "Pay for Everything" model invade their territories. Even US carriers have adopted this particular model.

It's up to your management to build a better mouse trap than that of NAI's. And even then there's no guaranty that "you'll" have any job protection.

You know, your airline may become the next Lowes, or Home Depot and purchase labour from overseas. Hope not, but there only one guaranty chum... There's no guaranty in this world except for.... well you know the rest.
