The merger is complete, how are we going to challenge this threat with our current management team? https://twitter.com/cnbc/status/410065377180143616

That's easy!

Abandon high cost, high yield markets. Park high cost, high yield airplanes, slash employee benefits, furlough pilots and F/A's!

Replace with RJ's! Bonus time!

Short answer is, we're not. With this team the question will be, can the airline survive long enough so I can get to retirement before the next disaster.

The good news is we now have no more domestic code-share in the contract.

Things are so bad you're not even sure the airline will survive? Really? Wow had no idea things had gone that far south.

Sometimes the line employees are the first to realize how deep the problems are. Once the numbers get to the higher levels the delayed response is either addressing a problem that is far deeper now or has changed completely. When you see the 20-year olds in ties with clipboards gathering data to try to figure out what's going on you know the leadership knows that they don't know what's going on.

Since 2010 we have heard how we are two years behind Delta's merger and that is the primary reason why our financials lag Delta's. Now that we lag AMR's combined financial's, what is the excuse for that? They had an unfair advantage by watching our mistakes over the last 3 years.

I think it was said you can only take so many toppings off a pizza before people stop buying it. We're in the process of cost cutting down to the dough. In a couple more years we'll be the only ones trying to sell flour as the whole pie.

Then try to merge the pig with American or Delta, so management can walk away with millions again...

Well, I've got 13 years left, if the retirement age doesn't change again. If we keep this management team for even a few more years, I doubt I'll make it to that retirement. Once the new American starts to take off, we will finally be in the lime light with how bad management really is. Right now they are hiding under a small improvement in the economy showing slight gains with reasonable fuel prices. We're going to be left in the dust wondering how all our jobs got outsourced and cut.

Just one disaster away. With the company ignoring everything related to safety if it costs anything...Just pray we don't have a hull loss any time soon.

And I'm an optimist...
