i feel sorry for the base managers that are losing their jobs over this. but it is going to lean out the management side of things.
That is pretty much what I heard as well. It will suck when some ex inflight manager calls you to find out why you were one minute late for whatever. If memory serves me right, they were a real pain with the FA's whever there was a delay.
I hope the inflight managers that they hold on to take the time to learn the other side of the house.
