Where does she see this airline in 1 year, 5 years, 10 years. She was supposed to share this vision with the board last spring, then it was postponed to the Fall. Now all we here is JetForward week after week. While I applaud her communication, her emails are becoming redundant. We get it, cost costs, get back to profitably etc etc. Then what? She's an attorney with an HR background, so yea, I'd like to know how she plans to run this airline long term. I think a lot of us do. We're not asking for detailed plans, just a glimpse into her vision for the airline. And yes, other American carrier CEO's do share their intent with shareholders and BOD.
And speaking to other pilots on the line, I'm not alone in wondering what the actual plan is. When we're cancelling supplemental bids, completely fuqing pilots over during vacation bids (myself included), I think we're well within the right to ask where we're headed. We're supposed to be back in the black a year from now (4th quarter 2025), then what? I don't think that's asking too much.
Bingo. That abrupt shift is what has me convinced that the plan is a merger.

Maybe the plan was something different, but when presented to the BOD they shot it down and said it’s time to cash out.
