Catering getting dirt cheap, did you notice they just halve the size of the champagne glasses, and they replaced the brand by a cheaper one? Do you remember when they had good croissants? A decent breakfast? That they are grabbing used planes cheap left and right. How lounges are overcrowded and falling apart? How seat pitch has been rduced to midget-size in Y?
Cutting salaries, right? Good luck with that. Flying crews have already cut down to the bare minimum. OK, maybe cutting management pay. Maybe cutting down on management staffing. Except I can't see that will make a huge difference.
They might stop spending on useless cosmetic web site development, and make it work for a change. But will that save them money? OK, maybe they would sell more tickets, to the folks who currently end up giving up because the thing is so poor.
Try to improve on time performance? That will cost them, that's all.
What else?
