Top 10 Least Respected Brands In America

What a worthless survey, and I am sure Delta pilots would get a kick out of this. Now, just me, I would think maybe a tobacco company would come in first. Obviously this survey does not have much merit, but any thoughts on this or other brands? Cheers

Boring... Now where's did I put my cognac?

The cognac is in first class, but the breadsticks are running out. A travesty indeed.

:confused: I can think of quite a few brands that deserve a place in the top 10.

Delta wouldn't have been one of them.

Fluffington Post publication....That about sums it up right there.

Least Respected Brand in America is....
 

I don't know. If you live in Memphis, you might agree with the survey.

I wear my hat, gate Pa not so much.:rolleyes:

Does Delta make money for their investors? Absolutely. Business leaders understand the things companies do in order to make money, while the general public does not. The way in which Delta utilized Regional Elite was very despicable. This is not the only action Delta has executed that is morally questionable. Business leaders understand that concept, which is why I believe Delta was voted number 1.

I saw this on airliners net. My favorite response was the young 767-400 fanboy who was yelling that DL has the best product in the world and should sue them. That was worth the read. :)

Sorry but true leaders will never understand things that are "questionable moral". It makes me laugh when morals are completely disregarded as long as the outcome is deemed "successful". The end justifies the means I guess. Of course Richard Anderson was Lorenzo's lawyers so Im sure ethics and "morals" never really were that important to him.

Sorry for the rant

Richard Dick Anderson is Scumbag!!!

What do you really think?

Will we get a new sticker for the side of the plane?

They can put it next to the fortune 500 most admired companies sticker. :)

I disagree about Denny's too. America's Diner.

Maybe you feel the same way about Jerry Atkin? Clearly he's not trying to whipsaw ExpressJet against Skywest. :rolleyes:

If you think this, I wonder what you think of George Pickett
(No, not the Civil War general) and John Beiser. Or maybe Ron Allen or Leo Mullen. If you don't know who these "gentlemen" are, then you really don't know what you are saying.

Yeah thats a garden spot in America!!

I wonder how we will ever get people to work here.... We will never get any pilots or Fa's to apply....Wasn't there 22000 applications in for the 400 slots of fa's we hired last time?

It was way more than that, there was a news article saying it was more common to get selected at Harvard than get an FA slot at Delta.

I enjoyed Richard Anderson's opening in sky magazine about how it's all about taking care of people... While he's dragging DCI through the mud for more concessions on already low wages.

Whipsaw is part of the game.

Right now JA is not as bad as Dick.

Oh. So it's Richard Anderson who is demanding concessions from ExpressJet? Not JA? :rolleyes:

This is a quote from A Delta pilot.

"As a retired Delta pilot i was incensed with Anderson's opener in the old safety video. He said C.E. Woolman built Delta on the principles of honesty, integrity, and mutual respect. He is so correct. Richard Anderson doesn't even deserve being mentioned in the same sentence with CE Woolman much less being allowed to sit at his desk."


George and John I know who they are. I was hired right after they sold ASA to Delta. You know where you stood with George and John. Back then ASA was just a stepping stone job.

Ron Allen, The CEO who started the demise of Delta Airlines.

Leo Mullin, The man who robbed Delta Airlines of Millions of dollars. The man who Fired about 25,000 employees world wide. The man who took Delta Airlines to the gutter.

Tacky on my part.

Wow. Delta employs nearly 80,000 people. A quote from a single individual(also from an unknown source)that you could've made up and typed on your own. That certainly is strong support for your claim.

Do you think that is a testament to how awesome Delta is or how bad the economy and jobs are?

Definitely the job market, however, the younger generation, in survey after survey, says they want to travel rather than settle down and buy fancy cars and houses.

Well, there ya go. How about this from me:
As a current Delta pilot, who has had the chance to speak directly to Mr Anderson, I cannot agree with what some retired Delta pilot has to say. Did it occur to you that maybe he has some beef about his retirement?


Listening to the tales in the crew lounge is not the same thing as having to actually work under these guys. You pobably even heard a few of my stories. I was ASA from 1995 to 2001.

Gold star work there.

I have no evidence other than FA hearsay, but I heard today that the new hire FA's are quitting at a pretty high rate.

When they find out they're spending Christmas in Albany instead of Paris, that usually happens.

Do you work for him? I do. He's the best CEO we've had in decades. You sound like a jilted lover.

If you live in Memphis, you are getting just what you have been asking for over the last 15 years. Enjoy.

The "quote" from a Delta pilot is idiotic.

Oh, and it's Delta Air Lines. 3 words. I wholeheartedly agree about Ron and Leo.

<pedant>
I've never been a fan of this statement. There was a similar comparison made with regard to pilot hiring at Virgin America awhile back. The vast majority of Harvard applicants are already the cream of the crop. What would Harvard's admission percentage be if every college bound senior applied?

Anyway, it doesn't change the point, of course. It's crazy competitive to become an FA at Delta. I just think this particular comparison is misleading.
</pedant>

If it's Albany GA, what's wrong with that. The Merry Acres is a wonderful hotel. :rolleyes: At least there is a Krispy Kreme right down the streeet.

Winner!

The people in the survey must know Lee Moak personally. Otherwise, seems like a good operation to me.

I wonder what the list of questions were in this survey and why they were not posted in this article :rolleyes:

I think you were close on your first post. I remember reading we had some 50,000 applicants for those jobs. How many you think most employers get when they announce hiring?
So I think your right about it being extremely competitive. For the others that are worried it is a bad place to work...Well that's easy, this is America so your free to head on over to Home Depot or Wal-Mart whichever is closer to your crib.

fyp.......
