I think some slack/spare capacity or redundancy somewhere would make a LOT of problems less likely to happen. Running lean only works out when nothing goes wrong. I know I should not be shocked by the extent of human stupidity, but why the "business" types do not get this is bizarre to me.
And paying people more would help too.
- HDThoreaun 4y agoThe airline business is too competitive for labor slack. People put up with spirit’s bullshit because it’s $5 cheaper. Any airline that incorporates slack will immediately find itself without customers. If they make it to a catastrophe it would work out, but it’s extremely unlikely that they will be on business that long.
