A real rest facility
Holiday Pay
Better vacation
Nice lounges to wait between flights
Free "points" for to replace uniform pieces
Van between Kew Gardens/LGA/JFK
We already have to fight that some of our flying is outsourced, now we have to fight the whipsaw that is our FAs too?
Nice lounges? Mother D just fills it with crap anyway. Walk over to the IFS lounge in E. You have to stoop as you walk in because they hang signs at the 6 foot level about uniform compliance and so on. There's even a uniform compliance check station next to the uniform compliance room across from the uniform compliance signs. Free coffee but the pot is always empty and no bags of coffee to be found anywhere.
