They've been successful at that for the most part. Will it change with the pilot shortages? Possibly.
And possibly not.
But for the life of this new agreement, AS has managed to lock in a notable cost advantage over AA/DL/UA/WN.
Step away from the Kool-Aid Mr. Jones.
Do you really believe the drivel you just spewed. You're ok providing arguably one of the best products out there for a discounted wage?
If I were you, I'd start delivering the 5th best everything. 5th place in On-time, 5th most efficient fuel burns, go 5 times the distance around weather, deliver 1/5 the PA's the other carriers do, 5 times as many maintenance write-ups ect, ect.............
Bet the F/A's are next for this 5th best nonsense as well and they too should provide the 5th best in everything!!
Anyone who condones this as satisfactory should be ashamed of themselves.
