American Airlines is asking employees to volunteer to help with the summer rush
- vr46 5y agoSurely just pay them with some kind of deferred salary?
- lotsofpulp 5y agoThe employees should reply by asking AA to volunteer some money.
- sp332 5y ago"The carrier cut 30% of its support staff through voluntary separations, early retirements and layoffs of about 1,500 staff members.... American is actually planning more flights from DFW this summer than it did in 2019. It also has 219 destinations from the hub airport, more than it did two years ago." Yeah that sounds like a "you" problem.
- mojomark 5y agoAmerican Airlines CEO compensation was $10M+ in 2020 [1]. Not to mention the C-suite, SVP's and VP's, and board pay. Seems like that should drop to $0 before you start crying for free labor. I'm familiar with a company who's CEO, after the housing crash in 2008, gave himself a 5% raise while telling everyone else we didn't have enough for annual cost of living increases and was called out. That CEO took his own life a few years later. Doesn't seem worth it, does it? 1. https://www.aviationpros.com/airlines/news/21220865/pay-dropped-for-american-airlines-ceo-doug-parker-in-2020-but-pandemic-pain-is-still-to-come https://www.aviationpros.com/airlines/news/21220865/pay-drop...
