Do you think that Vasu and his team operate in a vacuum? More pilots and more planes means more revenue, so you think they will always argue to grow the company even when it doesn’t make sense to do so? Extremely myopic viewpoints are acceptable just because of what someone’s job title is?
Why did DAL and UAL not furlough, while we did? Almost seems like they were smart enough to see the potential in a recovery to me. You can defend it all until the cows come home, doesn’t change the fact that we took a different course than everyone else and are paying the price for it. Enraging passengers is not good for business, and neither is making the news for cancelling flights due to staffing after begging for government assistance to keep staff on property. How is that something anyone can argue about?
Along those lines, after my flight late last night (about 10:30 PM), I was walking through the terminal at LAX and saw a massive line of passengers waiting at the service center for two agents to rebook them. Probably 150 people in that line. The people near the back of that line were going to be there for probably well over an hour.
