The nicest feature is clearly the Exec Plat direct phone number to call centers in the US. Once of the nice features NO LONGER at airlines like United (nothing against India, but even for big FF flyers, the United India team runs everything at UA).
Also everyone else (United etc.) had the benefit of bankruptcy to wash their assets through. I am stunned
Finally, yes, I get the anger at management. But to think that OTHER management teams would be any different, now THAT is the delusional part on the AA pilots' side.
Again, good luck to all.
I just hope I continue having a decent airline choice with a good FF program. That's all.
This was a fun debate and all... now I gotta get back from my break and do some work in the non-airline industry again
Cheers,
I know you think I was making a snide remark earlier, but again; I believe this is the basis of your position on this entire issue. You must understand, AA pilots have a bit more important issues, to them, going on right now then to worry about your FF program. These guys just lost their pensions and took HUGE paycuts and work rule concessions. Now here you are with "I don't wanna fly US Air so you guys better knock it off". Get real.
