description	Airline alliances may be good for the bottom line, but workers fear cost-cutting will result in job losses. Unions have been thinking a lot about the threat to jobs as more and more international - even global - alliances are being bagged. While airline managers are keen to scream out at the top of their voices about increased benefits to the traveling public, union leaders can clearly see the downside for their members. So, as much as airlines would like to play global, they will have to get the unions to play ball. At issue is how easy that will be. The politics of a fiercely competitive airline industry has already produced a number of competing airlines joining forces in the wave of international alliances. Dominant European carriers British Airways Lufthansa and KLM are spearheading the move to partnerships driven by intense competition from no-frills carriers.
