And it’s completely voluntary. You think that’s some kind of a bad deal, or somehow comparable to rampers being forced into part time?
Sign me up!
I was actually beginning to be a little more hopeful for the industry future until yesterday’s townhall with this Network Planner named Ankit. Wow, what a bunch of hubris.He spent 4 minutes explaining why we’ve cut more than DL/AA, and how we will shrink to profitability. Dodged the question of how we will get bookings if we don’t offer any flight schedule, while our competitors do.
Please,SK offer me early out like AA.
