It’s a bummer. I once was so excited to come here and had such pride to work here.
Not being cliche but . . . IT ALL DEPENDS. Is Dempsey a good/innovative CEO or is he another Barry? Or worse?
It's so sad but what makes a good company is SO dependent on what makes a good leader. Barry wanted to MARKET a way to success w/ gimmicks and silly ads. What we need now is an actual decent product that's on time, that provides exemplary customer service and that people want to patronize because they know that if/when something goes wrong, they'll be taken care of and not be hassled or even further disappointed. Honestly, w/ our size, it really shouldn't be that hard. It WILL take some monetary investment (which I dont think Indigo is down with).
So far, I haven't heard one thing about us changing mentalities, about hiring better gate agents and ticket counter personnel, of changing the network and configuring time between flights/layovers that don't create automatic conflicts or anything of the sort. But I have heard about another silly marketing campaign that seems poised to convert very few (if any) people to loyal customer land.
