The union gave away our quality of life and was too stupid to realize they were doing it. That should scare everyone.
Does anyone want to trust these fools with their pancake retirement plan, based on their previous record?
I certainly don't.
No pancakes for me!!! Not only no, but hell no!!!
Um hmm. Try doing it now. Most airlines that fly 747’s are getting rid of them or already have. Many that fly the 380 are seriously considering leaving them grounded after COVID and that includes Emirates. The 787 is replacing most international wide bodies and it doesn’t have a first class option. Almost no airline is ordering the A350 with first class. American Airlines still flies 777-300ERs with first class seats but they are the only domestic carrier that does. So unless you want Fedex to build its schedules around American Airlines 777-300ER routes, (right now they only fly into London), the whole international first class option is rapidly going the way of the dinosaur. Dying on that hill seems a bit pointless.
