C Suite has showed no intentions of reducing the contracted workforce (just the opposite), nor has any pilot group successfully negotiated to reduce it either (again the opposite). Not everyone has the opportunity to work at mainline because the positions do not exists, amongst many other reasons, qualifications aside. They are told to provide a mainline experience, and discouraged from telling passengers they are flying another airline. If they do their jobs right, the passenger has no idea they’re not flying mainline. They do the same jobs for less; it’s about time they get thrown a bone.
