I never cease to be awed by how AC lets women do his dirty work for him.
Donna admits it - "There always seemed to be more costs to cut, more employees to lay off.
"I was good at it, and I hated it," she said." She was very good at it.
Same when they outsourced thirty stations - sent a single mom.
Step III grievances? - Single mom.
Donna is one more way Al deflects blame. She is very charming, but in the end, she does Al's bidding. That's why she still has a job at US, and why things at US aren't changing, and why we old-timers decried the retention of Al.
Second verse, same as the first.

One of the first trouble spots that emerged in Phoenix: Baggage handlers and other employees who worked outside weren't able to get their sunscreen through security because of the ban on liquids and gels. Ditto for extra drinks. They quickly found a way to deliver three vats of suntan lotion and extra water to workers who routinely endure temperatures as high as 145 degrees as they load and unload bags from planes.
What Donna Paladini and other execs need to do is lobby TSA to use common sense in what rampers can bring. They need the sunblock of their choosing and they need to stop having their food confiscated. West rampers do not earn enough to constantly eat at the airport vendors. :rant:
Donna is a nice enough lady (personally), but people uproot their families and move every day. It isn't news!You may accuse me of being a sensitive person, but I wonder where your lack of respect for her comes from. She seems like a person adapting to this changing world while raising a family, much like all of us. Is there something we do not know.
And some even do it because they choose to.Donna is a nice enough lady (personally), but people uproot their families and move every day. It isn't news!
Barbee, this is the stupidest thing I ever heard. Is this crap still going on ?
Sorry for the topic drift, but, as I understand it, uniformed crew member with ID are allowed to have toothpaste and such in their crew bags. The same standard should apply to airport staff, especially with sunscreen in a place like PHX.
