Not saying we don't have problems because we surely do but if you were in ORD yesterday you know that every airline was having a meltdown. Our issue is that it's hard to recover because we just don't offer the frequency the other airlines do.

It's a bigger issue than one person on management. This is an issue with a growing company not spending enough to support that growth. You can't expect to run 144 airplanes at a cost and infrastructure built for 45. It's the same issue with the "budget" the company is willing to spend on our contract. It is a fixed dollar and doesn't account for our growth. Last year our pilot cost was X. This year with 300 more pilots the cost cannot still = X.
What I see on a daily basis is flt attendants that don't care, contracted gate agents that don't care and are telling customers anything they like and now an upper management (Bendo)that is breeding a not caring attitude that is now being reflected by all the employees he has gone cheap on.
Question is, how many times can we do this to customers? This place is an embarrassment.

This summer is shaping up to be one of the most colossal blunders in aviation history. It's only going to get worse before it gets better.

This can serve as the appetizer of what will happen if they don't give as a great contract. Short won't even describe next summer if we get a crap sandwich or drug through the mud

You need to be a member of the $9 Flica Club. You get a copy of the "bot" for Daily Open Time pickups as part of your membership. Also, discounts on airplane rentals and accommodations in Bimini.
