Leader of American pilots: Don't slow down flights

TO THUNDERBUZZARD

Stick it in your hat.....calling them kids.....mechanicals​ problems need to be addressed and they are taking care of business....to bad your sorry A** cannot get somewhere in time.  You do not know how underpaid, unappreciated, overworked and treated like dirt by some of these corporate airlines they are.  Tell me to research.....JACKA**​, I am a mother of a pilot and know exactly how they treat them.  I have heard it all and to boot, IDIOT, I have been int he travel industry for 21 years.  SO take that to the bank and you do the research.

WHAT happened in Buffalo 3 years ago with Colgan Air, READ ABOUT IT.....

It is called a WPP ladies and gentlement.  Work Perfection Plan

Yes all the "stuff" laid out by the FAA, Company, State, City, and Federal is followed to a "T".

American Airlines Employees are fighting for their lives ecomomically speaking.

Mr or Ms customer wants to get from point A to B, the employees are striving to stay alive

with one company OR ANOTHER.  I would not want to be in their shoes.

These people have given up work rules that were put in place for health and other reasons

including pay cuts, where as the company American Airlines run the company into the ground

and gave management multi-million dollar benefits.  How does that make sense?

Basically, they are saying fly another airline until things are sorted out.  

Got a lot of time and want to play the dial for dollars with American on customer care apology

credits, go ahead, but plan on kinks in your plans.

This is the 1% in action, and the 99% are taking the heat.  I know it is difficult, but try and research

what is, and has happened within the last 10 years in the airline business, its ugly.

40 years ago an airline could buy a DC-9 for 3 million dollars, now the equivlant is over 30 million.

Is it the employees falt that the customer wants $50.00 to 100.00 flights up and down the west

coast when all they are trying to do is make a living.  The numbers are all wrong and unless

You are a SouthWest or Alaska type carrier you are in for a dead end, as is the case of American

in my humble opinion.

ALSO - MSN Money - Your spell check stinks, and so do you until you get it upgraded. So there ! 

I've been in wait for this kind of crap! I flew United to Reno Nevada from Eugene Oregon the end of July, first part of August. When purchasing a ticket on line there's a section for "Special Needs": Do you have trouble standing too long, can you walk stairs, is it difficult to walk (paraphrased). I answered yes to all special needs thinking I would be well taken care of, otherwise why would they ask those questions. Nothing but trouble at every single gate, coming or going, because no one "got the memo!"

The worse was sitting in a wheelchair on the tarmac in SF's freezing weather with wind blowing my warm-weather clad body so a ramp for my wheelchair could be connected to the plane. Passengers had already started to board and they had to stop dead in their tracks underneath the tarped tunnel, thus the flight was delayed. Long story of mistreatment and more flight delays, but you get the point. To hell with the disabled.

The middle-range employees seemed to have no concern for me except the baggage loaders who kept apologizing because there was no ramp, or whatever, and the pilots not only assisted me physically but apologized over and over again. The pilots made me feel very special.

You want to know why the delays? Check the middle worker who isn't on the ball to keep things running as they should. Needless to say, I won't be flying again.
