Understood, but they wanted feedback so I gave them feedback.
I also know that good or bad they want feedback on hotels so, I will be filling those out a lot more.

So if the management of your company tells you that they're going to order new aircraft, don't believe them. It's just a trick...
Slow:
Not really a trick, but given past events, that many here haven't forgotten, some skepticism may be in order.
If the management of your company doesn't tell you that they're going to order new airplanes, don't believe them. They're just mismanaging the place, or trying to manage your contract expectations, as the order will be placed afterwards....
Got it.
Until the said replacement aircraft are on the ramp, no *****in or bragging allowed.
I posted before...we've got 34 DC-9's that are really old. In 2016 we'll have over 60 757's that are 25-30 years old. There'll be a bunch of MD-88's that can't fly NextGen and the early A320's that are over 25 years old. There'll be a bunch of 767's and ER's that are over 25 years old. The FAA just put out an AD on older 757's for fuselage stress. My bet is there'll be more rather than less of those technical issues as the airplanes get older.
In spite of what Scambo says, maybe we ought to encourage management to do a prudent fleet renewal. Maybe that's what they're telling you they're doing.
Wait, it's all about expectation management and the contract.
Not really ALL about it , but surely part of it, IMMHO.
Sorry, I forgot!
