Sounds a bit uncertain. Depending on how it gets negotiated with the unions as well, could be a rocky year or two at Asiana.
I just hope they don't throw the baby out with the bathwater in a bid to cut costs and jeopardise their service quality (about the only thing they have going for them).
No mention of changes to Asiana Club. I guess that's good?
