And as discussed, they get profit sharing IF we ever see it
I never understood the “I hope it cancels” mentality. For one, you’re ruining a lot of people’s plans (vacations/funerals/birthdays/ births of a family member/etc) because you’re selfish and want to go have a drink at the hotel. Two, cancellations are never as easy as: “you’re cancelled, here’s a really nice hotel on the beach and a car is outside waiting to take you there.” It’s usually a major cluster F where you sit around for 2 hours waiting for them to find a hotel then you get minimum rest just to deadhead at the crack of dawn to pick up the rest of your trip.
