Did anyone else read the bulletin on the new staffing levels for the 767 or 777?

I'm not happy about it! What about the language speakers? Will the company variable staff them as well? images/icons/frown.gif

as far as I know, they will NOT adjust the speakers. Haven't read/heard that officially, but judging by the attitude of management, the speaker complement what makes CO "special" on our international flights. In my opinion, a 777 can easily get away with staffing 4 speakers MAXIMUM. 1 for A zone, 1 for B zone and 2 for m/c. 3 on 767, 1(yes ONE!!!) on 757. Can anyone defend the need for so many speakers? Other than it's cheaper for the Company to pay junior speakers the override than pay senior f/a's their regular pay.
