:rolleyes: I'm just saying it's obvious you have a disdain toward AA for some reason. I'm genuinely curious as to why. It's not normal for someone to constantly post financial articles predicting the fall of AA. I could see posting an article or two, but this is a constant posting of yours. Not many people would say it as much as you do unless you get all giddy thinking about AA collapsing. |

I'm a single guy. Been pretty much all my life. Not sure what you're getting at, other than showing you're deflecting.
Every posting that does not deny a falsehood is not an affirmation of the veracity of that falsehood. In fact, I have no contempt for AA. I am, through my Vanguard Primecap shares, a stockholder in AA. Prior to COVID many of the decisions that AA management made - like fleet modernization - were entirely reasonable ones. Nobody has the ability to predict black swans, that’s why they call them black swans. It’s not a crime and nobody is guilty, but that doesn’t change the facts on the ground. Combined with some of those actions the timing of the COVID induced hit has left AA more economically vulnerable than the other legacies and all of them more economically vulnerable than SWA. That’s not just my opinion but it is a consensus opinion of most of the financial community as shown by multiple rating agencies. Me wishing it were different won’t drive my Primecap shares any higher. But accepting that reality is far different than being contemptuous of anyone. If anyone cannot understand that it’s unfortunate for them, not me. |

Serious question: Did anyone at any of the WO regionals NOT think that flow or similar career progression schemes were intended to keep the respective regional staffed? I thought it was extremely obvious, and yes even to potential new hires. Whenever I read this being explained out so as to educate others, in my mind I just feel the need to proverbially tap their shoulder and smile warmly while nodding my head sincerely and say “It’s ok....We know. Let me call the FA and see if I can buy you a water.”

I had a guy tell me in person that the flow was created so that AA could identify the best of the best of the best of the best very early in their careers and ensure they were locked on a path to mainline AA. This was a jumpseater. In the cockpit of another legacy.
And now it all becomes clear to me how I got a job at a WO!! I just assumed I was the best of the best. But now I find out I am the best of the best of the best of the best!! Hurrah for me!!! |
