In a letter to the commission, the Fort Worth-based airline says it's laying off 11 part-time passenger service agents, five full-time fleet service clerks and nine part-time fleet service clerks at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.
This wonderful new system the efficency experts (Who have never worked in any operational areas at the airline) have designed is scheduled to go into effect here on 01 April.Gate manning with 6 man crews..yay!<Not>
We've eliminated dedicated cabin service,so now you FA's flying through LGA are going to have the sweaty animals from the belly up cleaning your cabins.And passengers, your bag times are going to get even longer with the elimination of dedicated inbound bag runners.The guys that dump the belly are going to be taking the bags to the inbound belts, dumping them, then stopping in the outbound and grabbing the outbound bags.I'm personally excited about dumping 200+ MIA bags, then picking up another 200+ MIA bags and tossing them on the belt.
Spare me the song and dance about how "It works in STL", LGA isn't STL...one good line of thunder storms here or in the midwest and LGA is boned.
I'm also looking forward to going up into a cabin in May, dripping everywhere in my raingear and attempting to clean the entire aircraft in ten minutes.My raingear smells like a wet dog too.

"You want hangers? Market bags? Sorry, don't have them with me and don't have the time to go get them.Replace the galley rug? Sorry, not trained in rug replacement, nor do I have the time to find someone to do that.My crew chief says we have to get back down below to help load the outbound."
Management is truly ignorant.Keep telling yourselves that passengers value an ontime departure more than a clean cabin.You idiots in DFW don't hear what these people are saying as they are getting off the airplane, you aren't standing behind them in line at Dunkin Donuts here, embarassed to hear them complaining about the "Pig Sty" they flew on from Dallas.
I remember just a few short years ago how aircraft appearance was a big deal, now its a hassle.Sad really how this company is determined to step on it's own d!ck at every opportunity.
But it's alright, "We know why you fly" and we're "Working Together".
