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.

Oh, and the best news is the phone numbers on the rotation are now one touch dial links. I'm in heaven, just like the old EZopenboard!

This coming from the person who so accurately predicted that all junior folk were getting furloughed this month.
How's that looking glass working out for you? Last I checked, I'm not going to be relying on you for futures info on our company.

No, we need raises---actually RESTORATION. We have been taken advantage of for too long, and there are plenty of other things or "one time charges" the company could do to "prepare for the future", like buy 10 million biscoff cookies and store them in a warehouse. That may save us money in the short term, but we need to be paid better NOW. Start at the Southwest 737 rate---for our 737s, not for our 777s or 744s. That is the new benchmark. The Airtran guys are going to get the SWA rate, and so will we. If they don't like it, they can raise fares or fees even higher. Too bad. And, I won't give anything up for scope either. We are coming off of a BK contract, and times are better. Will we ever get the pay back from the C2K days? I don't know, but it will be darn close.

I, along with a lot of other people, already paid for some airplanes for the company (E-170's for Compass). Imagine how we felt the month after we got out of bankruptcy and after taking huge paycuts, to find bright, shiny new jets on the property -- for someone else to fly. It was not fun.
I recommend we let Delta find ways to pay for the airplanes the next time. It's their turn.
