If pilots and flight attendants agree to wage and benefit reductions in the wake of the financial difficulties in the airline industry, what impact would this have on the supply and demand in the market for airline service, assuming no other changes take

place in this market?

What will be an ideal response?


A reduction of wages and benefits will shift the supply curve to the right, but will not shift the demand curve. This will decrease the equilibrium price and increase the equilibrium quantity in the market for airline service.
