Over the past several years, I''ve seen many developements that tell me that the day of the good airline job will soon be a thing of the past for many of us.
Agents are being replaced by automatic check in machines. These machines cannot handle problems or answer questions. They are useless in case of OSO, and provide no warmth or special customer service. The agents left over after the layoffs will be swamped with endless lines of angry customers who want help and answers.
F/A jobs are at a minumum with meal service being eliminated on many routes.
Over the past few years DL and CO have contracted out their ramp at my station. These contractors have a revolving door, and can go through many employees a year. many quiting before they ever get trained enough to do the job right.
UAL is wanting the BK judge to throw out it''s union contracts. If they get that done, they want to contract out all their heavy maintenance. WN saves about 50% by contracting out all their heavy maintenance.
These are just a few of the things that look bad for our industry. We already have many on layoff, that will probably never be recalled. Airlines other than WN and JB, look at their employees as liabilities rather than assets. Everyone should be considering what their next job will be.
