And the board gives this moron a 3 year extension on his contract and a raise, Maybe the board of directors is made up of AA members. :down:

Whats dumber, the failed DL bid or the DWI?

 

[Hey.. Chill Out]

Ohhh ho ho ho ho! This is rich!


Somebody queue the WAH WAH WAHHh music.

That Delta merger WAS a popcorn fart wasn't it?

Fortune is the People Magazine of business publications. No big deal here.

Several other airlines made the list, including two entries each for BA and WN.

OK, I know that everyone thinks that US has horrible customer service and disrespects its best customers....but I can't imagine that they would ever do something like this. This had me rolling....I thought British Airways was a quality airline....guess not.

British Airways

Only #88?

Wait until next year.

Personally MY Vote is for Delta Fiasco. Too this day I can't believe they would even ATTEMPT such a maneuver when they didn't even have THE US/AWA merger in order. Here it is 11 months later and the two airlines REMAIN T-W-O separate operations under the logo of a Flag and a Swoosh. As a pax I could only wonder, "What the F.....?". (The DWI could happen to anyone under the circumstances and really is nothing more than a personal embarassment.)

The EXACT same thing happened to me many years ago on a Rome - PHL flight. A woman in coach had a seizure and died. So until we could land in Iceland - they put her body in the crew rest seat in Envoy - which wasn't next to me but was one row back across the aisle. Pretty creepy!

So sorry to say - you didn't discover another airline that did something worse than US. So sorry to burst your bubble there westie.

Look at the sidebar on the BA story--under the heading of Bosses Behaving Badly--whose picture is that?????

#88, that's whose picture

Seriously, though, there is much more than the DWI to qualify our Doug for this list.......

See Doug run. Run Doug run!

I'm a customer, thanks...sorry to burst your bubble that you couldn't take another dig at another "westie".

Second that, on both points. And throw the QIK/SHARES fiasco in there, too.

It was an east flight wasn't it? A "westie" sticking up for the old U?

Why people continue to berate west employees while holding up the "shining" example of east service (of which I contribute and know all too well) seems to be a disconnect.

Berate the management all you want but why harp on west employees?

It is almost xenophobic at times- the people I do not know I will hate. There is more to this country than just the east.

They are just like the rest of us-working under harsh conditions but seemingly a bit more optimistic-what is wrong with that.

It might be (it is) a good quality.

As the poster stated it was Rome-what does that have to do with east or west?

And the "I'm a Customer..." part does not give carte blanch? on this board.

There are quality people in every category on this board and then there are the others.
