With that of course comes things like firing Quality Assurance staff, and thinning out the need for safety and quality on the very long run.
There also seems to be some sort of a feeling in these companies that might have maxed out of what they can do with passenger airline segment of products. So they have to pinch dollars to make more money.
Once you arrive there, I do expect a long term slump in quality and trust.
