	Airline Industry's Assault on Workers - BuzzFlash Reader Commentary
		The battered airline industry, which has yet to figure out that bad service, late and canceled flights, and uncomfortable seating are at least part of the cause of its crashing revenues, is now calling for legislation that weakens workers' right to strike.
		Airline mouthpieces claim that labor costs are the cause for the industry’s troubles, but they forget that the wages and benefits agreed to were done in the free market.
		Yet even after workers gave the airlines major concessions in wages and benefits, the industry leaders continue to whine to the government.

	CNN.com - 400 Buzz jobs at risk, union says - Feb. 22, 2003
		Up to 400 jobs are said to be under threat at British budget airline Buzz as a result of its takeover by rival Ryanair.
		The GMB's Paul Kenny told PA that the remaining jobs at Buzz were not likely to survive for long: "Ryanair's predatory takeover is simply to remove the opposition from the low cost part of the industry.
		Buzz, which is owned by Dutch airline KLM, operated 21 routes from London Stansted -- Ryanair's main UK base -- to points in Germany, Holland, France and Spain, as well as two French domestic routes.

	Guardian \| O'Leary tells Buzz unions: I'll close you down
		The Irish no-frills airline, which is paying £15m for loss-making Buzz, intends to cut a fifth of its workforce, a quarter of its routes and to cancel a planned base at Bournemouth.
		Mr O'Leary said Buzz's problems were attributable to its Dutch owner, KLM: "It got saddled by KLM with the shittiest set of aircraft in the fleet, flying to shitty airports and with a few too many employees for an airline carrying 2m passengers."
		Buzz had already sold 55,000 tickets for six destinations from the south coast town, which were due to begin on March 30.

	Discover the Wisdom of Mankind on airline (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Many airlines in the Allied countries were flush from lease contracts to the military, and foresaw a future explosive demand for civil air transport, for both passengers and cargo.
		Airline labor actions, for instance, are often halted by government intervention in order to protect the free flow of people, communications, and goods between different regions without compromising safety.
		Since airline reservation requests are often made by city-pair (such as "show me flights from Chicago to Dusseldorf"), an airline who is able to code share with another airline for a variety of routes might be able to be listed as indeed offering a Chicago-Dusseldorf flight.

	Guardian \| Ryanair snaps up rival airline Buzz
		Ryanair, the Irish discount airline, today announced it was buying Buzz for 23.9m euros (£15.6m), in a move that shrinks the market to just two rivals.
		Buzz currently operates 21 routes from Stansted, Ryanair's main UK base, to Germany, Holland, France and Spain, as well as two French domestic routes, while Ryanair flies 49 routes out of Stansted.
		As Buzz would have more than £11m of cash, the net cost of the deal would be less than £3m, he said, adding that as the purchase would be funded from existing cash deposits, the cost would be "nominal".

	Passenger Opinions about Buzz
		Buzz must have known of forthcoming sale, so why did they go to the pretence of setting up a base at Bournemouth, even promoting flights on the day they were sold.
		I recently booked a flight which was due to depart Stansted at 7:30am - however Buzz in all their wisdom have changed their flight schedule and the flight now departs at 6:10am making it almost impossible to get to the airport without paying a fortune.
		Buzz readily admit the first Stansted Express is at 5:00 am from Liverpool street arriving at 5:40 so one might just be able to check in before the 30 minute cut off but they wouldn't recommend it!
