They also need to hire a lot of people because of all the retirements they have coming. If they do so exclusively from their subsidiary carriers, they will cannibalize those carriers and the cheap feed that they apparently love. There will still be opportunity for people to get hired outside of the subsidiaries.

 

Serious question:

Is your spacebar broken? Savagery.

 

Get over it cupcake.That is what happens when you're typing on a freakin' phone...you make mistakes. I can't help it if I have big fingers, big feet, big.......ha ha !!

 

Well, one missed space i can handle but your last few posts have had NO SPACES AT ALL between sentences.

I need a mod for a serious thor style ban hammer drop. No regard for human life!

 

It's a good thing you always capitalize all of your I's. Otherwise this situation might become sort of ironic 🤔

 

I've already stipulated that it is happening today. My argument is pointing at the near future.

 

It's a good thing you can sense sarcasm or you might end up looking like a feminine hygiene product.

Was supposed to be good natured fun. Have a nice night.

 

Delta and American currently have very different management strategies for their regionals. Dick craves control over their product and is willing to pay premiuims to ensure it has enough FOs coming in, but then forces those FOs to spend numerous uncertain years at their regional working their way towards an upgrade just for an opportunity to prove themselves worthy through a 50-50 shot at passing a mainline interview.

American is all about cost control, and will do whatever it takes to keep prices low. Doug's LCC days shine through in his willingness to put one WO survival against another and his lack of concern for breaking promises if they cannot be met at minimum cost. He attempts to attract FOs with bottom of the industry wages with the promise of one day having a "gaurenteed" job at American through a flow. The expensive contract carrier will not prosper under current AAG mentality, and those at the lowest cost will churn their way through cycles of rapid growth, increasing costs, stagnation, and finally contraction only to be replaced by the next lowest on the cost spectrum.

AAG's model is flawed to investors in a bull market as it does not capitalize on maximum market share while times are good. However, it is superior to Delta during times of economic contraction when minimum cost will provided the greatest ROI.

We regional peons are pawns in this game of investment returns. That is why we are not paid what we are worth, only what we can negotiate.

 

I'm sorry, but I really don't think Doug spends his time thinking about the future of his regionals. He always defers to Dion and we are mere zits on the ass of AA

If it was sarcasm you saying "serious question" in your first post may have turned off my sarcasm recognition meter...

That being said no need to get all defensive lol I hope you had a fantastic night as well. Carry on.
