Aredee,
You seriously need to get over yourself. Bob does not speak for FFOCUS, he speaks for himself.
I'll try to get over myself. And, you might want to change your website, as it states that "Bob" is the
Co- Founder, Policy Committee Member. Does he speak for you, represent FFOCUS, or not?
If you had been in Tempe when I met with management I'd give you some slack, but you weren't and have no idea what went on behind the scenes. I will only tell you that we supported this company and its employees wholeheartedly for years and years, and things only turned negative when management determined that we (and customers in general, especially elites) were a liability rather than an asset, and they turned on us like they did on the employees.
I disagree with many things that Tempe has implemented, but this is a thread about giving credit for a nice Thanksgiving Dinner, not your Tempe trips. I realize how much they have devalued the product; they still offered something no other major did: A nice dinner throughout the system for thousands of employees. That was the point of the thread.
Now we are an advocacy group which speaks for customers of ALL airlines--and we have been very effective in getting US and other carriers to respond to customer issues which were previously ignored by the respective airline.
Well, I would say that an advocacy group should not have its #2 in command (according to your site) spouting off about p*ssing on the grave that is US. That is the day I stopped taking FFOCUS seriously whatsoever. That type of attitude is counterproductive for everybody involved. It's like if DP came here, late at night, and argued many of the non factual threads on here. He doesn't, because he is in a position of control. Simple, really.
Do we complain? Yes sometimes it's unavoidable--but at least speaking for myself, much of my criticism has been intended to effect positive change, and in some cases it has....
And I agree, you have much to gripe about. Again, this thread is about a T-giving dinner provided free by the company.
You are now free to continue griping across the country........
I will, until I receive a fair contract and this airlines fixes the areas that are lacking. You won't find me spinning my bitterness towards the company in a thread about a free dinner provided on a Holiday, or about restoring 500 mile minimums. Those are positive things.
