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.

You are so full of sh$&(. We voted to take a pay cut during COVID? I’ll answer the rhetorical question. We voted to decrease our mpg so that we wouldn’t furlough. Isn’t that what a union is? An organization that looks out for all members? I remember the panic my friends had that were at AA during Covid. Do you?
