I would expect little noticeable difference in ground staffing and gate availability for a while. And apparently we had another IT crash for a few hours a few days ago, leading to long phone delays again. But they are making schedulers work 12 hour shifts now, so im sure that will work 🙄
It really seemed like they have no idea how to “fix” these issues and are trying to just watch the operation closely for signs for next collapse. However he did say they really didn’t know at what point a situation gets so bad it becomes a melt down, as in, what the point of now return is on the operation that you have to prevent reaching to avoid the meltdown.
But hey, uniforms! And someone asked about in seat power outlets for that smoking fast WiFi. 😒
Everyone else may be having staffing but clearly not to the level we do so that’s not a valid excuse and doesn’t answer the question on how to fix it. People will do just about anything for the right amount of money. We just need to find out what that amount is and how to structure it so perhaps it doesn’t become a long term cost.
In seat power is never going to happen I did catch that question bc it was at the very end. I think person had a good reason for asking it but management didn’t really catch it. When you can keep people fully powered up on their devices they tend to not start fights when they wait an hour for a gate. A lot easier to keep the tempers down when you keep them cold and a screen babysitting them.
