Intn'l Flying

[UPNAWAY]

From the Managment pow wow in PHX.
Domestic will not grow in 2008, Int. will and it won't be just PHL & CLT will also include PHX & elsewhere.
Domestic revenues (flat) do not look that good this year and the next (Recession fears).
Every $1 of Oil cost $35 million. But still spending on infustructure, 300 million for this year.
Gate Readers, more Kiosk, bagage scanners coming.
2008, Back to Basic focus - RCA, Reliability, Convenence, Appearance.
Sounds like they understand the focus needs to be get the opperation right.
Now the proof will be in the execution!

Ha - ha I bet they're still nursing that hangover. They'll come to their senses, change their mind, and paint a plane in honor of BritBrit. Starbucks might want to get in on that.

Now THAT is how you appropriate funds and focus .

Just curious, have you ever worked a flt to MEX? I did once, and out and back, and it was the hardest damm flight I have ever worked in my whole entire life! I wondered why the agent looked so beat as we walked down the jetway to the a/c. Now I know why. I wish we had flts from CLT-GDL! I would so work it just to get some cheap tequila.

Yeah - - let me get in my fiction mode here and tell you how I *think* it would go if I worked that flight at any point. Just remember that everything I say can and will be held against me so let's treat this as a fictional piece.

It's because you try to get their passports and they nod their head "yes" and you're like VISA? and they're like "SI" and they hand you their drivers license....passport? Visa? Hello?

"si."

And there is nodding and smiling.

No. No laughing. Passpot. Give. me. the. passport. Or Visa. Resident card?

Si.

CRAP!!!

LMFAO!

Hello! Visa = visa, passport = pasaporte OMG! How can they NOT understand you? They use the same damm words in Spanish.

Here's a fiction story I just wrote. It's not nearly as entertaining as yours though. There were some flight attendants on an airplane in NAS. All of a sudden, an intoxicated pax boarded the plane but he didn't know where his seat was and so the f/as told him to look at his ticket stub so he opened his wallet and handed the f/as his credit card and they said they didn't need his credit card they needed to see his ticket stub so they could tell where he was seated and then he showed them his driver's license. The agent came down and he did the same thing, tried to hand her his credit card. The f/as told him just to take any empty seat then as he walked by he made a couple of very rude comments to the f/as and then as soon as he left for his seat the f/as looked at each other and said "he!! no! not on this flight" and so they kicked him off the flight for being too intoxicated.

but they are mad at the fa for broking their drinkies.

Our pax are nothing but classy. Just like our product. These hijinks are unheard of.

Um....girl, here's your 5 gossip rags I found on various flights, and here's half the alcohol I confiscated from those A-holes that dont really exist. Can I see if your size two zip up dress fits me? That girl on the other thread just pissed me off by getting her uniform. Oh crap, the moderator is watching again.

Ahem, yeah, I heard we were starting service to Slovakia or something. True story.
