My Father-in-law flew for AA for over 30 years, and never once did a passenger look him right in the face and say "Bite Me" when he said goodnight and thanked them as they deplaned. Nor was he ever called "walking scum" as he later passed by the same woman at baggage claim on his way to the hotel van. Just sayin'

Was this recent? If so, it's becoming a trend. Had a somewhat similar experience last week.

You're just doing your job. Uncle Barry and friends have made an atrocious work environment, and the pax just blame it on the first person they see.
Disheartening indeed. I'll repeat the mantra: Be ready for the strike, whenever it comes.

That extends far beyond frontier. Society in general is losing its ability to be decent.

I'm a bit confused. For a company trying to go public and maximize on an IPO, there doesn't seem to be much logic in their part. Pilot labor relation issues, long tarmac delays, bottom on performance ranking. Are they trying to sabotage their own IPO?

They may be trying to sabotage our attempts to get mediation. But more likely they're just tripping over pounds to save pennies.

The pilot group doesn't need to do anything to sabotage their operations. This management group is taking care of it for us. I know I shouldn't be, but I'm a little surprised that heads aren't rolling.

Just my opinion but I don't think there is any way they are doing any of this on purpose. Way - way - way too much money at stake. The costliness of these problems far outweigh any gains they could achieve by playing games.

I can't imagine how the value of the IPO has not already been seriously impacted! Think about it. The last 2 years the singular focus has been on getting the numbers in line, and now this massive effort has been utterly undone in one summer.

Good thing I don't put much value in my own analysis, or I'd probably be extremely worried.
