I am amazed that this management team is still running the ******* show here. It's a shame honestly. I have been here almost 3 years and the missteps are just continual. This management team does not know what a world class airline is and I truly believe they won't be able to get us back to being one. I think Isom and the domestic growth/ small international management visionaries need to be replaced with outsiders. I am truly curious if the board is as incompetent. On a side note, I will say that I do love my job and as long as my check clears I'm a pretty happy camper. It is the competetive spirit in me though that wants to strive to be the best in what I do and it be damned that I expect leadership should want the same. Whenever I bring this up on a trip with Captains who have been here many years, it's the same answer.. American always is third place and no one cares to change it. I realize I am ranting a bit but I am curious, what do you guys think the path forward looks like for us to be back in the competition with Delta and United?

 

And why did you choose that title for the thread?

 

Because that’s exactly what is happening? Did you read the article at all?

 

The article failed to mention that though.

It's a market capitalization based index so that's how the cookie crumbles. Eventually we'll be dealing with some activist investors if they can't turn the stock around.

 

Serious question, why do you care about stock price? Seems like an odd thing to shake your fist at.

 

Read the article...admittedly have not been following AAL and the S&P .....but didnt get that info from this article.

 

Yeah my bad I thought it was the same article they shared on our FB group.

 

if a stock price goes to $0, yeah, why worry? Why are people talking about bankruptcy so much with Spirit and JetBlue? Go look at their stock price..
and then of course the wildcard PE Firm buying it up and that’s a crap shoot. Why care about the owners of the company?

 

So we still getting paid this month? This is a management and Wall St problem not a pilot problem. Just fly the airplane and worry about the things you can control.

 

We aren’t anywhere close to bankruptcy or the stock going to zero. If you want to talk about management doing a **** poor job, have at it, but sulking about the stock price is odd.
