So laws evaporate for the sake of corporate efficiency? This kind of deference to authority and lack of empathy is alarming me.

- kelnos 10y agoHow is that for the sake of corporate efficiency? If you can't get a crew to a plane they're supposed to work on in time, you have to cancel the flight, and then instead of inconveniencing (in this case) the four passengers they chose to bump, you inconvenience an entire plane of passengers.
- frobozz 10y agoThat is exactly corporate efficiency. Less efficient solutions that don't inconvenience passengers include: * maintaining extra crew on standby at each airport, in case of no-shows by the scheduled crew. * reserving (i.e. not selling) space on flights specifically for such crew transport. * buying seats for them on other airlines, chartering a small aircraft, or other means of transport. * offering enough cash to persuade volunteers to debark. Considering that the alternative is to compensate an entire planeful, the budget for this is a lot higher than 4*$800.
