Despite the mayhem caused on Sep 11th, I predict unlicensed flight attendents could quickly be replaced. Unfortunately they are not in the professional league of the pilots and machinists. IMHO the flight attendents, and all other airline groups, should be focusing on the survivability of the airline and preservation of their jobs which may include a 5% pay cut. Frankly I suspected management would ask for 20% to bring their costs down. Am I off base?

In a resolution posted on the Association of Flight Attendants Web site, the union said the proposal is concessionary and "not in the best interest of the flight attendant carrier." A deal with pilots reached earlier in the week to cut wages by 10 percent requires participation of other unions, according to pilot spokesman Steve Derebey. Both machinists and flight attendants have repeatedly said they would not talk to the airline about wage cuts. Roger EWROPS
