The point being that labor shortages are nearly always resolved by offering more money. No one came at $14 and hour? Try $20. Heck for $100 an hour I'll come down to rural Texas loaded up on Gatorade and wearing a cowboy boot to work 16 hours a day.Same thing in the world of aviation when planes are overbooked. The gate agents start offering low compensation to move to a different flight. 200-300 ish. But if no one takes it, they have to increase their offer until they move the needle to a financial compensation package that is worth it to the person. I've know of offers of $2000 to take a two hour delay between TUL--> DFW happening because the airline couldn't find anyone that wanted to take the delay until the proper compensation was offered. (Note that I'd have taken that any day of the week and then hop in my happy car and drive on down to the DFW to make my next flight there if I had to.)[ATTACH=full]395912[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
