Mrs Field who makes cookies can tell you that as business grows, you need more than just operation staff. A next layer is needed to oversee the staff, and coordinate the operation. This level is the management. Unfortunately, management demands higher pay than ordinary operation staff, and therefore the cost goes up disproportionately. When more people are employed, there will be more sticky IR and OHS issues; new specialist personnel who also command higher pay are engaged.

Oops, I forget the rostering, IT, posh offices, flashy furniture, corporate image, functions, advertisement and promotion, PR, Board members, CEO perks, etc.

Budget airline can afford budget airline fare no longer.
