We know how airlines like to market all kinds the slogans, bennies, frequent flier bonuses, electronic gadgets on planes to creat brand differentiation. First to show inflight moves, the J.D. Power Award, first to fly the Pope, etc. The list is endless.
Now here comes a new brand differentiator from AA...
First to furlough 4000 flight attendants from one domicile.
First to furlough all the flight attendants from the airline it acquired to make places for its own employees.
First to furlough its remaining 1800 flight attendants - mostly women - from the domicile of the acquired airline where they had special seniority and replace them with its own flight attendants half their age and young enough to be their children whose seniority at the acquired airline Domicile is nil.
First to force all the flight attendants of the acquired airline (4000) into one domicile forcing several thousand to commute at their expense.
First deny furlough pay to the 1800 most senior flight attendants at the acquired airline while paying more junior flight attendants furloughed a month ago from the acquired airline furlough pay.
First to force its furloughed flight attendants to collect unemployment from Missouri at $250 per week while denying them unemployment in their home states where they live and where unemployment pays considerably more because they were employed too long in Missouri.
It doesn''t get any better than that - a great brand differentiator and example of what Don Carty called fair and Equitable.
