What I find odd is Daves on-going comparisons to the LCC's in all regards with one major exception , HIS compensation...and that of the rest of the executive levels here.F/AinDay said:
When Dave accepts wages like that of Jet Blues CEO...and any and all bonuses are tied 100% to the operations profits and performance statistics...then just maybe he might find an audience that will listen to his diatribe?? Yet in light of what he's done to the employee's and the airline as a whole..even that would be highly doubtfull ????.
I'm sure the over-whelming majority would have no problem living with WN's wages. I for one would be taking a quantum leap forward in my levels of compensation...along with a number of steps backwards in regards to what I'm tasked with on the job.
WN is a smart business model...and everything is efficiency based and performance oriented. U could be this way too , had it not elected to buy foriegn Acft as it has a history of doing again and again. We would have gone a long way towards keeping other Americans in Everette and Renton Washington at work too...maybe they would be more able and eager to fly U out of reverse loyalty ?? Fleet rationalization of a single make would have also provided a logistical economy of scale.
Nobody likes to admit that the Airbus purchase was in many ways hurtfull ....but logistics and homefront economics say otherwise. I also believe the current airbus maintenance battle was in the cards when the dotted line was signed by W&G.
