$625K in gold stolen at Miami International Airport

[xUT]

Why here's the proof right here.....

American Airlines really is on the list of the ten most hated companies in America.

It was recently named the U.S. carrier with the rudest employees. It was also ranked the worst carrier in America based on customer service, according to the ACSI.

Might also explain why AA's revenue growth that began in the first half of 2012 hit the wall and hasn't recovered since the "operational events" of last September/October.

Customers, including shippers, take their business where they get the best service and where the operational reliability is the best.

So Deltoid can mix up human remains but it is a faux pas.
Yes we get it Deltoid can do no wrong...

Who cares about $625K when Horton is trying to steal $20million?

Doesn't matter Bob.
Horton and his minions will get it all and there isn't #### you can do about it.
Been there, done that!
Take Care,

Yes, Bob, we all can see it. Only the AApologists fail to see how far they will stoop to protect the company at the expense of the customers that actually pay its bills. And then justify that it is ok for the employees and execs to pilfer and steal because "there isn't anything that can be done about it."

It’s not much different from the disdain AA has shown for its employees – and your signature perfectly embodies their philosophy of employee relations.

Other airlines do make mistakes but they don’t have employees coming onto websites arguing that the customer is the one who screwed up on one tiny little detail so they are screwed.

There are plenty of case studies of companies that have screwed up and none of the successful companies told the customer they were wrong or that it was because of their fault that the company will walk away w/o any obligation.

Take care of people and they will take care of you. Screw them and, well, it is pretty obvious what happens.

Steenland's payout after NWA-Delta merger: $18.3 million

NW was not in BK when it merged with DL.

DL employees (including their PMNW colleagues) have regained more of their salary post BK than has any other US carrier legacy employee group)

Nice deflection into executive compensation, WT, and the claims of AA being one of the most hated companies in America.

Now that you've gotten your little Squirrel! moment over with, how about backing up your claim that AA is liable and will be paying out on the claim?

 

[WorldTraveler]

how about you back up your assertion that the shipment was passenger baggage and that AA have no responsibility.

Even if it was a simple suitcase that contained gold, AA DOES have some responsibility. The same is true for every other type of shipment.

Carriers don't just wipe out all liability because the shipper didn't fill out paperwork to make it fit a category that you seem to think evokes special care and liability.

The exec compensation and the world's most hated company categories are indeed part of the discussion because it shows the disregard that AA has had for the people that pay AA salaries and the people who do the work.

Lets see Richard Anderson got a 42% increase in pay, yet the employees got 2-4%, yep thats quite all right because deltoid wil rule the world!

 

[WorldTraveler]

not sure what the compensation of a DL exec has to do with the theft of a shipment at AA's hub in MIA but I'll play along.

The compensation of executives of publicly traded companies is far more closely tied to the movement of company stock than are other employees. DL stock has more than doubled over the past 18 months and DL is the highest valued airline in the Americas and one of the highest valued in the world.

For their part, DL employees have received multiple pay raises over the past 5 years and have also received the largest amount of profit sharing ever distributed to US airline employees - and probably anywhere in the world - over the past three years. Nearly $1B has been divided between DL's employees amounting to 5% or more of their salaries for the past several years.
More significantly, DL employees are now at or above the salary levels of their legacy carrier peers.

The issue of executive compensation at AA comes precisely because AA is in BK and their exec is seeking a payout that is objected to by those who are charged to ensure the BK process is fair and just.

There is a compensation committee in place that reviews executive performance, qualifications, company financial performance, and pay for comps among other things. Seems you are upset they didn't consult you.

Please educate yourself: http://www.delta.com/content/dam/delta-www/pdfs/about-financial/Charter_Pers_Comp.pdf

Rest assured, DL employees will likely see another raise to counter the IAM's organizing efforts.

And what does this have to do with stolen gold?

 

[WorldTraveler]

the connection - since you clearly missed it - is that some people here seem to think that it is ok to allow a shipper or passenger's possessions which have been entrusted to an airline to be lost or stolen and then justify it by saying, "you screwed up by failing to properly fill out this paperwork" so you're out of luck, SUCKER."

There are companies that admit what they have done and make it right and there are those who look for every opportunity to blame everyone for their problems.

it doesn't take too many minutes reading this forum to know which camp many AA employees categorize their employer - and many customers seem to agree.

So are you implying that Delta would compensate someone for a loss if they had not "properly filled out the paperwork"' just because they are one of those companies that would "make it right"?

I seem to remember you arguing (in some thread defending Delta) that someone did not deserve something because they should have known The rules. Rules are rules.
