Smh . Just giving my opinion. You may agree or disagree, I don’t care , just my $0.02 from what I’ve personally witnessed lately.

Just trying to get a laugh.

But the JB/ NK guys felt very, very attacked by the Biden administration for trying to block their merger.

That would be mostly my eyes

But that’s all of North America

​​​Ever since stewardess became “flight attendants” it’s been a downward toilet spiral

I just put my earbuds in noise canceling mode, put my shades on and go to sleep right when I get seated.

MCO and FLL have typically been saturated markets with lower yielding vacation travel and not what they seem to be going after. No idea what they want out in BOS, but I still suspect when it comes to a merger the juice still isn’t worth the squeeze. United doesn’t seem want their route network outside of JFK access, and I suspect the 220’s and CEO’s would all be parked. I get why JB employees would be in favor of this after seeing what has happened to Spirit and considering NB’s finances since the pandemic, but I really don’t think Kirby and crew are interested. Could be wrong, I guess we’ll find out in time.

Im just saying that girl on the bottom is probably down for a good Mexican dinner, a couple of margaritas and a night out you won’t forget.

Girl on the top will these days is likely going to want to hit the gym and eat a salad.

I'm a 1st year FO on the 737 at American. How long would it take for me to hold WB Captain at United after we get stapled to the bottom? Isom promised me 10 years at indoc.

Yeah. It shows that she can down a few burritos and margaritas that you paid for. And then tell you to get your own damn trash bag when you ask for one the next day.

Ooof. Heard the fence would be 25 years. Can we not fence off MIA?

My two cents. Pre merger the majority of CAL FA’s treated pax overall very good to way above average, but most treated crews and non revs way below average. United was almost exactly the opposite.

Today 25% of our FA’s very good to exceptional. 40% average to mediocre and 35% absolutely horrible and lazy with a terrible attitude.

FWIW my two cents.

You can definitely tell when you have a Houston cabin crew. They never call, even on a transcon.
