Aren't we always? I see why everyday. Our pax service sucks.

On the contrary. We scored in the top 5 best in terms of consumer complaints. Baggage handling and in-voluntary denied boarding (bumping pax) hurt us the most and we were the worst in those two categories. On-time arrivals at AE were identical to AA (77.2%).

The formula they use to calculate the Airline Quality score is bogus as well. You can have the worst on-time performance but never bump any pax and be ranked #1 (this happened a few years ago).

So is the consensus that if you pass the review board, you get a call, but if you get rejected by the board, you get a letter?

My mailman apparently doesn't like ringing doorbells or knocking loudly, so I got a notice about a certified letter today that I now have to wait until tomorrow to pick up. Is there any chance that it's other than bad news?

You are correct, sir. But sometimes it usually doesn't work like that. just wait, maybe it's just a letter letting you know that your mail order bride has arrived.

While the contents of the letter most definitely matter, when I find out what it says really doesn't. Regardless, it'd be nice to know if there's any reason to keep my hopes up at this point.

Don't loose sleep over it. It is a rejection letter. I received the same one. I wasn't home when the delivery was attempted either and had to pick it up the next morning at the Post Office. Pretty much killed my day. So then I had to go to work with the realization that I would have to keep going to work at this place for the indefinite future. Then I got over it and realized that maybe it's for the best and I shouldn't fret over it.
