Management is a meritocracy. They can just leave to maintain or improve their salary. They are not locked in by seniority. Management doesn’t have to share any sacrifice. Management isn’t going to have labor councils running the airline .. they are just going to lay you off .. bye bye

Re: Flight attendants and configurations

An airline’s certification for its aircraft may require more F/A than 1:50 ratio. It is likely United’s widebody 787-9 requires a minimum of 6 F/A or even 7 at floor-level exits for FAA approval. Therefore the configuration isn’t as important as is keeping an A320 at 150.
