Sort of agree, but my concern is the downward spiral:

FAs: "We are overworked. Please lessen our load."
UA: "Okay, we'll streamline food service."
FAs: "Thank you."
UA: "Since we streamlined food service we're cutting one FA."
FAs: "We are now overworked with one less FA. Please lessen our load."
UA: "Okay, we'll streamline xxx service."
FAs: "Thank you."
UA: "Since we streamlined xxx service we're cutting one FA."
and so on....
