Atlanta
 

Wanted to create a thread specific for Atlanta Base and it’s stories…

I’ll start.

The gate agents sent an angry mob to greet the arriving flight crew at another gate??

That gate agent who sent them to the other gate should get canned. Our gate agents are notorious for hiding on the jet bridge. As you can witness, it makes people really happy.

Ahh one of Atlanta’s finest 😳.

You get what you pay for.

Yeah. But can you think of a worse job? I really can't. I don't know how or why anyone would ever do that job.

It's a 24/7/365 job.. nights, weekends, holidays. You have to deal with airport driving, parking, badging. You get to get yelled at at 4am. All for probably $16/ hour. I'd rather work at Walmart or McDonald's

Exactly and probably the biggest issue we have right now. These agents need to be full time, with benefits (including travel), Frontier employees. Why else go through the hassle of working at an airport if you don’t have travel benefits.

Because McDonalds has higher standards and wouldn’t hire them.

I’m sure you understand that will NEVER happen at an Indigo Airline right ?

Nothing will change.

I was looking for this.... ATL is an absolute crapshow.

In RGS a few weeks ago apparently DS said ATL is our biggest issue base at the moment and they are planning on bringing gate agents back in company starting there.

I sure hope so, cause I feel like I am reporting gate agents every other day.

Nice to see these passengers flying domestic again after vacationing in Europe this summer.

LOL, this is absolutely hilarious.

Bwahaha - bravo - post of the day!

I have been concerned for my safety a number of times as a uniformed crew member waiting at the gate in ATL. That’s when my members only jacket comes into play. They’re going to have to hire private security soon.

Is this what low fares done right looks like in BB’s vision? Having gate agents cut loose an angry mob on unsuspecting crew? That’s insanity. The board of directors really needs to show Barry the door. Give someone else an opportunity to make a great airline.

I am sure its already in the works.... CEO selling 40% of his stock so quickly when it is so low, poor performance, ****ed off customers, and single digit margins in the "biggest quarter of airline history"

Seriously, right? The CEO is hired by and answers to the board of directors. Tanking the stock price, miserable on time performance, I checked out BB’s LinkedIn account and it is absolutely peppered with angry customers out for blood.

Management has failed this airline in every respect, even profitability. I am so sick of the way we treat people, especially the ones that pay my salary.

On a side note, I guess the FAA has taken notice of our operation lately. I heard there was a fed walking around our ramp all last week in LAS and this week in DEN.

Ok these are the type of posts I always question. Heard where? From whom?

Is it really that surprising that a fed was walking around observing an airline’s operation? That happens every day.

Haha. It is their job after all.
