AA management needs to find direction and vision, because right now we are just good enough which isn’t “good enough”.
If you don’t want to be on the winning team and enjoy the perks that come with that like “profit sharing” okay…
I’m not a management cheerleader. I do my best when I show for work and I expect management to do the same.
I’m sure you’re a cool guy to fly with but your constant mudslinging of the DL and UA cheerleaders comes off super petty even though their “my dad could beat your dad” banter is lame too…
Difference is they are on the winning teams right now.
No you don't get it. I make fun of the cheerleaders because this is just a job not an identity and too many pilots make all about their whole identity.
Do I want AA to succeed? Of course. I need the checks to keep clearing for at least 10ish more years. Do I believe we will ever be the most profitable of the big 3 and offer the best premium product? Not a chance. But I go to work and do my job and let management do their jobs. I don't worry about crap above my pay grade. As long as the pay checks keep cashing that's what I'll keep doing.
Now if you're 30 years old and working here you may have a different perspective. I'd be worried too. But you have options.
