They pulled that crap with my crew two weeks ago. I'm Platinum with Bonvoy so I knew there were rooms at the Westin.

I flat out refused the 35 minute drive to the hotel they had on our board and told the CHAT desk and the Supervisor that I knew rooms were available at the Westin. After 10 minutes of back and forth, they changed us to the Westin.

The poor treatment of employees in other work groups is exceedingly disappointing, it occurs continuously. It is heart breaking to see what has happened here in the last 3 years.
This is NOT at ALL the company that I worked hard to become a part of.

Remember, $12,000,000,000.00 in stock buybacks over GK's reign of cashing in on Herb's creation, $26,900,000.00 million in FEB 2021 in 'Great Job!' bonus payments to 9 people immediately following a WARN on 12/3/20 while how manay pilots were out on ExTO &ETO?! (Why furlough when you are short crew?); and the 2% Profit sharing while our CEO (who can't be bothered to attend a congressional hearing) gets a massive pay raise. Absolutely out of touch. Baghdad Bob level out of touch.

Plus, they took millions in boneUSes. When the profit sharing was reduced to 2% because of their screwup.

AA has a TA and the smart money says UAL will be right behind them. I can see swa losing 200 by the end of July and I would not be shocked at all to see up to 500 total bail by the end of the year as every new hire follows the money to the big 3.

At some point we will have so many jets parked that no amount of tap dancing by Bob at investors calls will convince the analysts that our company isn’t being completely mismanaged. I almost feel sorry for the execs, almost.

BJ just says and does what GK tells him to do. GK played with stock buybacks blowing 12 billion and now playing puppet master .

You know, I’d like to think that but I can t believe the institutional investors aren’t all over them already for the gross mismanagement of this company.

As far as feeling sorry for them? No way and no how. It’s ******..g war. Let’s go! 🔥

It’s the FordHarrison playbook, so yes it’s intentional.
