I think it was in the days when American was removing olives from the
salads to save money.



And cutting their flight attendant's pay while giving their executives
free
Mercedes cars.

The attendants are free to find other employment.

A good executive can save a dying company (Nelson at UPS, Louis-Dreyfus at
Adidas, Bethune at Continental, Bonsignore at Honeywell, Welch at GE...),
attendants can only **** up a company -- doing their job is "normal". MOF,
most unions have done much, through work restrictions, to kill entire
industries, let alone single companies.

And, yes, even being honest, an executive can **** up a company royally (HP,
Diebold, Apple, DEC...)
