EVERY decision being made is based SOLELY on money with ZERO value placed on customer or employee satisfaction.

Personal inconvenience and levels of satisfaction--whether employee or passenger--are assigned the value of ZERO.

This approach is similar to how rotten regional airlines are run. Meet minimum performance standards to keep the revenue stream alive. Disgruntled employees will be threatened and otherwise coerced into a minimum level of job performance. Employees who are not trapped here for one reason or another will leave. Costs of attrition will be more than offset by the benefits of having a less senior pilot group. The sifting effect will leave nothing but misfits and indentured servants to fly the airplanes. Who better to carry the water.

Come here as a placeholder. Unless and until this place undergoes a RADICAL transformation, it's not a career airline.
