Well, I didn't insult ALL airline employees, just the brainless bureaucratic ones.
And I never can remember all of what FUBAR is...I know the F and the U and the B...the rest I don't remember!
The rest of your comments I agree with. Actually, I normally have nothing but good experiences when flying and the only crap usually results in ridiculous FAA rules and not the airline.
But I won't fly American any longer and my last three flights have been with Southwest. But I don't fly enough to make a judgment. Southwest is cheaper and more flexible and I don't care to eat on the plane...I take flights to get somewhere and not have a gourmet meal and thus do not understand those that complain.
But I've had a couple of employees that I could swear had lobotomies...walking zombies they were so stupid. You have to wonder how they keep their jobs if it wasn't for unions.
No apologies required. Thanks for the reply.
I had a feeling we really were on the same wavelength. I get the "lobotomotrons" all the time it seems and not just with airlines, and I do, like you, blame the corporate philosophy of "We as a corporation get what we pay for and we don't care!!"
Gourmet meals....?? BWA HAH HAHAHA!! Believe me, your comments on the specific carriers are appreciated.
(right on the union thing too) A union member could get "busted" for drugs and have their job survive. A non-union res agent could get walked out for looking at someone the wrong way, i.e. expendable. We all know how tough it is to bust our rears all day trying to do a good job when some fellow employees don't and our company doesn't appreciate us except as a warm body.
I will indeed be looking at them in my rear-view mirror quite soon, however, thanks to another career avenue but that's irrelevant here:)
~Cheers!!
NEVER FORGET!!
