Re-Boning
It works just like re-gifting, and the satisfaction is quite similar.
Tomorrow, AMR will throw a “bone†to the lower rung by sending out twenty-five dollar “atta-boys.†I’ve yet to determine if that will be a taxable amount.
I look at this pittance in comparison to what was given up, as akin to tossing a dog a milk-bone when it has performed to your amusement. Kind of like the plats want to do on another group as they whine for the return of the SOS program, so they can have atta-boys and milk bones to hold over employees heads with the promise of giving one out to the first person that brings them a pre-flight drink, warm nuts, hot towels, or sneaks them the extra bottle of Royal Crown that they obviously believe is hidden away somewhere in the galley. The same plats that also like to refer to those who aren’t in the premium cabins as the “unwashed†which I have often taken personal offense to. AMR employees are not door mats and no plat, OR management level employee should attempt to wipe their boots on them with either an SOS chit or a twenty five dollar deposit which, at today’s fuel prices, will barely get most employees back and forth to work for more than a couple of days.
So the “re-boning†gesture, which you may make with or without K-Y, is a simple one. Every employee who is serious about the survival of the airline, and the preservation of their own job, should simply re-gift the twenty five bucks back to AMR. Get out those check books and write that check to AMR with a memo that clearly states “Debt Reduction Only†and send it on down to Jerry! Of course, they’ll most likely reject them but the sincerity, thought, determination, drive and the fact that unlike big brother, the employees ARE watching will be felt in the headlines of mass media from coast to coast.
To those employee who decide to keep the 25 dollar bone, I’ll offer best wishes and hope you enjoy your Taco Bell lunch, your ¾ tank of gas or your 2-4-1 specials at PayLess.
Re-boning, it’s the only way to fly!
