Looks like AAL is canceling hundreds of flights due to staffing issues. Some are being canceled short notice.

Ever try to contact anyone to provide input as to something that can be improved?
Hot garbage? You must be connected if that is what you see.

I am not connected to anyone here.
I would hate to see what’s going on behind the curtain at AA if you think it’s going truly down the Olympic ski jump hill here.

When you see the beggars on the street, hand them a job application instead of a quarter.
It's Monday. The market opens in 30 minutes. Time to make money.

Goes to show that the higher the income, the more entitled and whiny people become.

But yes, you’re suffering so badly waiting on the phone. Is your arm ok? Have you tried the speaker option and set down? You might not hurt so much next time if you try it.

That's how you move forward so you don't stay in menial jobs your whole life. Making a lower wage is NO EXCUSE for crappy service.
how many times have you gone back and shaken hands with the passengers in the past month? Ever left the airplane before the last passenger?

The great thing about working at any livable wage career is that nobody cares if you do or don't do your job. I've had a few minimum wage jobs. They were part of my motivation to go to college and join the military. I'm afraid that livable wage jobs will become a social trap-making just enough to pay the bills, while deincentivizing or making further education impossible (no time to go to school when you have to work to pay for your housing and raise a family).
Spicy chicken and a toasted bun? You'll take what I give you and like it.
