Why bother talking about an issue on national TV that most viewers don't give a rats ass about?
Most customers don't really care how much management gets and how much labor gave four years ago. That's old news. They just want to know that they're not going to be stuck on an airplane for hours, and that's what the reporter asked about.

Customers don't care because they forget. Reminding the public about the concessions, outsourcing, greedy management bonuses, etc. needs to be forefront when ever possible. It is not old news. It is news lived every day by airline employees.

Why not talk about it, after all should'nt the customers know why service has gone to Sh!t?

Shitty service aside, point A to point B with a ticket price that is less than the tax portion. What taxpayers aren't realizing is that the fed is raking in billions in taxes from the air travel industry and giving nothing back in the way of making things run smoother at major airports. Its like paying for the right to be hassled - something they used to get for free as it was included in the price of a ticket.
The airline industry needs to be re-regulated as quickly as possible.

I have scant hope that this or a future administration would address executive greed. That would be biting the hand that feeds them. Our next administration will either be more of the same or return to renting out the Lincoln Bedroom in the White House.

Seems to be an issue with this interview.

I'll tell you why it's an issue at AA, for the very same reasons. It affects those same uncaring and stranded passengers when good service is lost. When you have a disfunctional airline and employees who stopped giving a SH*T, I would have to say Mr. former mAAnagement that it is an extremely important issue.
It seems you should have learned this in junior college Successful Business 101 , but I guess the only one paying any attention was Herb Kelleher.

<_< -------- Listen people, the Unions have leverage here I don't think they're taking advantage of! You've got all three Unions negotiating a new contract in the same year! Are they talking to each other about a United strategy? If not why? -------- I know that without it we're predestined to a mediocre contract at best! With it, there would be a fair chance of getting a good portion of what we gave up back! Let's see if our "Union Leaders" can swallow their pride and figure that out!------- :down:
