Plane without a pilot will still fly for quite some time. Doesn't mean the pilot is superfluous. And my point still stands that there is no empirical evidence

Plane without a pilot will still fly for quite some time. Doesn't mean the pilot is superfluous.
And my point still stands that there is no empirical evidence that Twitter was overstaffed.
We do know that their revenue/employee back in 2020 was better than many other startups e.g. Shopify, Zoom.

- peoplefromibiza 4y ago> Doesn't mean the pilot is superfluous the pilot is the pilot, but 80% of the crew is, if the plan is to got from A to B. Maybe a second pilot for backup is a good idea, but is cabin crew selling lottery tickets on flight?
- everforward 4y agoThe cabin crew is there to keep control of the passengers. Keep people from smoking, make there aren't fights over masks, make sure nobody downs a whole bottle of whisky they bought in the duty free store and proceeds to do God knows what. Even the cheap airlines have cabin crew; they're not there for the hell of it.
- nindalf 4y agoBut it’s a great analogy because a layman looks at an airline operation and thinks “yeah I can do this without the crew”. They’re wrong, just like all the people who think they can run Twitter with 20 good men.
- Animatronio 4y agoYeah, but the people that got fired were more like passengers than crew.
