The shareholders are the bosses and don't like opertaing costs because that means less money's them, and proactively training LCA's cost more money THIS QUARTER.
So the rest of us have to suffer. See the common theme here?
Hence the need to for REAL worker's unions.
This statement is so wrong in many ways... You don't think OO wants to train more LCAs? Before i left i was waiting for a class for almost 2 years. The FAA will only allow OO to train a certain amount of LCAs, and then once the training is done they have to have a FAA linecheck, this one is severely delayed. Hence the problem. I know of people who did their LCA training last year and still waiting to get signed of by the FAA.
