Why Airline Mergers Don't Work

I've been in this business on and off for the last 23 years and in my opinion (for whatever it's worth), you have more corporate suits and less actual airline vets running these airlines right into the ground. Instead of cutting back on labor and laying people off, they need to use the people to their advantage. Trim the fat where you need to, ie (VP of Food Tasting and other BS jobs like that one) and figure out ways to make money. Just because you cut back and save some money, you're
not creating any new revenue. So what they need to do is find ways to make money and stop cutting back to bare bones, making less people do more work for less money while they get bonuses for wrecking the airline, unless they're going to take less money and do more (PHYSICAL work). Now we know that's not gonna happen. Bottom line is, even if you cut back to bare bones, you're not making money. You're saving what you already have. Create new ways to make more money. This is how your profit margin goes up.
