I think you are right about AA... They showed a net profit including the gov't grant, but the operating loss was about $350MM (excluding the grant) IIRC. AWA's net profit was $80MM and their operating profit was $12MM (excluding the grant) IIRC.Cart Pusher said:

The new transcon service must not be selling very well if they have to give 50% commission to travel agents to intice them to sell HP

Since June 03, AA has a net profit exluding special items (which are net gains from gov't/worlspan sale, etc..) of 26M. There are still a few hundred million in annual savings that are yet to be realized from the restructuring. ie. the pilots are in the middle of a huge retraining cycle due to layoffs and displacements. These courses cost approximately 50k a pop and will create drag on the bottom line through next year.funguy2 said:

Was your post an addendum or your own when the word stewardess and waitress were used? Either way, when was the last time a waiter/waitress gave CPR and brought someone back? I just did! As far as "foreign" service goes; please be aware that most carriers are owned and or subsidized by their respective Govmt's. Talk about service/cost in comparison w/ US carriers is a moot point financially. I realize that I am only a "waiter in the sky" to you. On the same note, don't ask me for any help other than "waiter" duties! <_<

CPR is not only used by flight attendants. Waiters and Waitresses know a few things too! Who cares if they call you a waiter? We are in the service industry we are blue collar workers. Call me whatever you want , just make sure I get paid twice a month.
