Don’t make a mountain out of a bump bud. 😂

Ah, yes a slow day for me. I'm tracking now...

They care about the quality of the job they do they just don’t care that Barry is driving the company into the earth. Maybe they reached their retirement goals and now their paychecks are just gravy on top. Who knows, but at some point it would bother anyone knowing the fruits of their efforts go right out the door because the company you work for doesn’t treat it’s people or its clients well at all.

Over in the spirit forum.

I know the article says pax are willing to splurge on airfare, but what is it they are splurging on? I think they are starting to pay more so they are not being treated like cargo in the hold of a slave ship. I think people would gladly save money on airfare for slightly less seat padding and a tray table the size of a flip phone folded up if they were treated like actual customers spending hard earned money on our product.

I'm just trying to keep some perspective and fairness on this forum. It's been a lot of doom and gloom here lately. I was simply pointing out that the airline has been making money

again, every airline made money in Q2.

I don’t get why a CEO would purposely tank his company with all the chicken little BS. Maybe bookings are down but you don’t go all doom and gloom. These guys are up to something fishy.

maybe HaikuF9 has some insight ?

Nobody seems to give a ****** and somehow it’s the pilots’ fault.

Why are you shutting down? You know what's going on right now, correct?

Cough... DFW is tight parking and need two engines to safely bring that bird in the gate. Cough.
