This statement is false. The majority of our passengers do not originate from these two states. The Arizona side is a small, stagnated part of an already minimal presence on the west coast. You ask any average Phoenician about g4, they don’t know who you’re talking about. G4 was not issued any major slots in critical city’s, no EAS either. G4 doesn’t move the DOT needle. No congressman is going to be phoning the DOT asking why he can’t get back home. In this sense the corporate mantra will work in our favor, “were a travel company” is more accurate from an essential air carrier standpoint.

G4 is also a bad neighbor airline; local Florida news is constantly reporting passenger frustration stories, i.e. our melt down last winter, was all over the local airways. Passenger’s stuck for days, holidays ruined. Have you heard of our numerous air returns? Local Florida news has.

Politically important? Not g4. Our flight attendants have gone before the NMB previous and are becoming very familiar with our emt’s strategy. NMB has made statements recently reflecting their concern for g4’s lack of cooperation. Everyone here is familiar with the RLA, we can read too. Will we strike tomorrow, of course not. Will it take several years, I don’t think so.
