I personally think this is what’s driving uncertainty for the company’s staffing projections.
2001 not only saw the terrorist attacks, but a fairly large bursting of the tech bubble, which put us in a recession. 2008 saw one of the biggest drops of the stock market in a century. I am not bullish per se, but while not likely, I don’t think a quick recovery is totally out of the question.

you ever fly long haul? A lot of cargo sits around for days because we are weight restricted or the belly is full of bags. If the passenger load is light then we can get all the bags into one can. This opens up additional positions to load cargo.
how about you think outside the box a little instead calling people drunk. And what does AA have anything to do with this?
