Maybe try reading what we said more carefully next time.
I don’t consider myself miserable but I agreed with dracirs post. Too many pilots due to pride or whatever can’t come to grips with it. One day they will understand, nothing matters at this airline but one thing: cost. That means everything else, the selfie videos, press releases about new routes, memos, daily ops emails, etc, are window dressing. The people who run this airline are obsessed with costs and keeping them as low as possible. To staff ground crew, contract with reliable vendors, generally care about the product, that all costs money. So they spend as little of it as they possibly can and yell about it when things go south. Maybe fire a ground handler. Just happened in ATL. Anyone here long enough remembers when they had to do the same thing in DEN years ago, swissport was so bad BB junior assigned the GO workers to throw bags (and he joined them). Rinse and repeat. For many, including myself, this is a double edged sword. You want to work for a company that makes money and is responsible financially. But you also want to do it the right way. Saying you are doing low fares right costs as much as one of BBs free smiles

doing it right costs more.
