For all the years since 9-11, all we have heard from the boardroom is how either the employee groups make concessions, or people will lose jobs and we will file for bankruptcy. AND, we have all had to sit by and watch how management have enjoyed the fact that they receive lucrative salaries, bonuses and perks, and that THEIR concessions have been minimal to none.
My husband has remained on active duty practically since 9-11. Sure, he loves serving our country and enjoyed being recalled under President Bush, since many of the reasons he left active duty for the airlines to begin with had a lot to do with Bill Clinton. He makes about the same flying in the Marines as he does for American. He is eligible to retire from the Marines, but at this point, he’s recalled now until the end of the year.
Great points. Unfortunately too many on here do not understand the real world...that there have been numerous bad decisions from those running our companies....and will not take cuts themselves as they run the companies into the ground...they have no company loyalty compared to the non-management employees
And God Bless your husband for serving our country. He is the reason why we are still free to post on forums like this. Although I am an Army vet....a big Semper Fi to your hubby
