Cutting Corners - really just cutting benefits

In light of the recent proposed changes from the airline industre ry, it makes me think that other changes are bound to happen.  If you haven't seen it, some discount airlines are considering standing room seats for economy flying.  NO SEATS!  I mean they've taken food, drinks, and room and now they're looking at making us stand!  all in the name for a 44% savings?  no seat...just a bike like seat connected to a bar...SERIOUSLY!  How long until corporate America will be a BYOC - bring your own chair policy?  Oh you want a better PC...bring your own!  Want access to the printer...again bring your own or pay extra!  In today's working world, we as leaders, need to fight for basic tools.  Sure you can save a boat load of money pushing a BYOB policy...but what kind of results will you get?  I'm sure the airlines are going to see a massive backlash of customer satisfaction.  Sure we crave cheap products but standing room seats?  Is that really a reaction to cheap seats or just their attempt to squeeze more people into a small space...So keep your folks in first class...pay for the big seats!
