Or, in other words ... without after the sale fees, we'd be losing money.
So, do we capture the revenue on the ladies that carry four bags on the airplane and five blankets off the jet? Besides, what do these women do with all of our blankets? I've never been in a house and thought "... this place could really use a bunch of bright red blankets."
IMHO we need to be more diligent ensuring the first 80 folks on the airplane leave some room for the passengers coming behind them.. and while I'm on this rant ... can't believe the commuting off line FA's that bring FOUR and FIVE bags on the jet, throw them in the first class section, or first row of coach, then find a jumpseat, while revenue bags are tagged and put downstairs.
As for huge raises am I the only one thinking the company isn't really making enough to replace the 757 and MD88 fleets in a few years? Sure we need raises, but our goal should be balanced with our long term interests.
