Yes, they would want deep cuts but pretty much the opposite of this LOA. Instead, they would desire very high LPAs (to enable maximum furloughs) combined with huge cuts to pay and work rules.
This LOA is designed to retain pilots for a rebound, not minimize labor expenses for an airline shrinking in BK.
You’re right. Our creditors and shareholders will demand maximum productivity and cost cutting, rather than paying more to carry a bunch of dead weight. The real problem is that you are trying to apply logic and reason with people who respond poorly to that approach.
