Because they say their gonna downsize doesn’t mean they will OR it will stay that way. Hang in there.
I agree. I’ll say this, as someone who remembers the LGA and SJU base; I’ve never had less confidence in the management team as I do now.
Ben was quirky but he at least understood what ULCC meant and how how to make money with it (pushing the planes too far at time).
Bob was vanilla, pun intended, but realized that we can’t continue to **** of customers if we want to grow, he left the company in the best position it has ever been.
And then comes Teddy who “over shot his skis” his first summer here and it’s been meltdown after meltdown since. The reality seems to be this management team has zero direction and their attention can be derailed with a squirrel running past them, followed by a “wait, what are we doing?!” 50 minute turns with security checks and crew changes continue to put us behind, lack of accountability for anyone not called CA or FO is astounding, and a scheduling system that still works from home so that a scheduler is now more concerned with fixing their toddler a PBJ instead of getting a crew a hotel room. We really are rudderless with this crew at the top and look forward to a flush of all of them when this merger gets resolved.
