Times are tough at the moment but it isn't going to last. When the vaccine hits late this year and starts making its way out into the population, the sentiment is going to change virtually overnight. Do you seriously want to be playing golf with some guys and when they ask what you do, having to cough, and look away while saying you work for Spirit? Or be at a bar and talking it up with a potential date and having to tell them you work for Frontier? No, the answer is you want the prestige of working for American Airlines and you can say that loud and proud when asked.
The flow is a beautiful thing and AAG recognized that early on and thus the reason they made it a cornerstone of the company. There is no substitute for walking on to AA property directly from a pipeline academy.
Uh, I’d venture to say AA is NOT too big to fail completely. It is certainly failing miserably right now.
I’d rather tell someone I work at Frontier or Spirt than Envoy, or have been furloughed by AA.
Business and international pax are NOT coming back. AAG is going to start canceling August flights here shortly because the bookings are back down. Frontier and Spirit numbers don’t seem to be as affected because they don’t rely on business and international pax like the big three.
Now, go back to what ever rock you have your KoolAid still under.
