Because they are stupid. They are too busy posting arbonne videos on Instagram than to have the slightest interest in their career.

I am tired of seeing how cool it is to see our flying and jobs eroding. Hell, they are happy to see their own jobs and flying being transferred to the 175 and for the life of me I can’t figure out why they do that.

Because we “smart” pilots never post Instagram videos, right?

To call our inflight team “stupid” is unfair. Uneducated on the subject? Absolutely. Let’s all make sure we do our part and bring them up to speed and help them realize this affects their careers as well.

The InFlight crew that have a real contract with real work rules, real pay and real teeth in it that force the circus clowns to really follow it. Gotcha

Not AS. It was QX.

There are two QX FA comments back to back they are pure cringe. This happens with pilots and mainline, but people need to educate themselves with history of the industry they’re in. AAG Kool-Aid is by far the worst in the industry.

They'd feel differently if the company started an alter f/a list at Horizon on a B scale wage then started contracting out their jobs.

I cringe when mainline flies with 80-100 open seats twice a day to OTZ every day.

Is the money made on cargo? Could it go with zero PAX and still make money?

Sounds like we need to get Skywest to take over the routes up there so AAG can turn a profit...

Vacation 2022. Looks like every base and seat, the unicorn months are July, August, and December with extremely low availability.
