lol, you can't make this stuff up. They run the airline into the ground and get a raise as they furlough employees.

it's probably an incentive for them to stick around to provide some continuity during a potential bankruptcy.

This definitely can be used as a pressure card to play againist furloughs, but will the union take advantage of it and actually do something, or just send an email out to rub it on our faces!!

Honestly, unfortunately, the furloughs need to happen and probably a few months back. I can't figure out what the advantage to our reserve staffing was over the last several months. The pay raises though sure as hell shouldn't have happened for those clowns.

Did they really run it into the ground though? Look at the grand scheme of things over the last 6 years and there was plenty that happened that has got things where they are today. Frankly, this style of business model skates a razor thin line. One or two little hiccups that distrupts the apple cart and it can be catostrophic.

Maybe they didn't but the inaction of last few years, especially since Ted took over, sure makes it look that way. It doesnt really matter at this point.

The focus needs to be on why they think they deserve a raise while employees lose their jobs.
Perhaps we should move this discussion to the where's alpa thread.

Yes they did. Second half of 2020 was their opportunity to pivot. They chose not to. By 2021 they could see what they were doing wasn’t working and chose to just keep doing the same thing instead of actually being visionary. Nearly five full years have gone by without a profit and they have done nothing but continue to sell things for cash. Burning the furniture instead of making change.

They said they always had planned for being a stand alone carrier if the merger(s) failed. If that’s true why wasn’t the switch flipped back in January for change at last. They couldn’t because they never actually had a plan. Now they say they have big changes coming but it seems to me they are still trying to think of changes which is what they should’ve done years ago.
