Ways to generate revenue...

PS:[/b] How does Joe Beery keep his job? If our IT Director delivered the oozing pile of excrement aka SHARES to my company and now three years later still doesn't work he would be out on his assets 2 years ago. I work in and around IT so I'm aware of the challenges migrations pose. This migration is already being taught in Computer Science classes at major universities as a case study in what NOT to do when you convert to a new or in this case ancient system.

...Like a glove sweetheart.

You wouldn't like it though. You'd immediatly start complaining about the sand that gets in your shoes.

I wish I had a nice cubicle job that fit me like a glove. I could say that I work for a major airline without having to actually fly too much at all--traveling is such a hassle these days. Any employee who tries to nonrev should be charged for their foolishness! I would love to sit infront of a computer for many hours and squeeze in some blogging now and then. I could decorate all three walls of my area with photos of fluffy, the latest inspiration of the day, and my last certificate of perfect attendance. Once in a while for exercise, I'll get up and go to the copier machine or fax something. I don't want a blood clot sitting for so long. I'll smile and wave at the same people--I love office politics. What shall I wear tomorrow? It's important to plan out the weeks' clothing. I want to look business casual like I'm a real professional, but not the uptight East Coast Wall Street type. Gawd, they're so serious all the time and they all feel so entitled! The world does not revolve around the Right Coast, nevermind where the seats of power and finance are. It's not all about New-York, Washington or godforbid Philadelphia. Tempe is where it's happening. If nonrevs want to burden this company with frivolous trips--I say charge them. Now where is that "Ideas That Fly" form? I'm gonna get up and fax it right now. "Hi, Sheila. (waves) It's a nice day out, only 100 degrees in May".

This comes up on a lot of the threads, so I am curious, what makes sense to you all for the company to do to generate the revenue to offset the fuel prices? A quarter to recline the seat? A dollar for a coke? What do you think the carrier should do to offset fuel and hopefully survive as a standalone?
What could we do that would make sense and not embarrass us at the same time?

These merger scenarios are starting to be nauseating and stressful , so this could be a fun thread or maybe the next cost cutting idea will be born!! What are your ideas - - (no getting rid of westies/easties isn't allowed - - keep it fun!)

SNN 🙂

We could start charging for pretzels, pillows, blankets; put a public restroom quarter machine on the door to our lavatories. Charge extra for deplaning before others, charge for boarding before others. Purchase grocery store branded soda and charge passengers to upgrade to Coca Cola Products. When passengers ask us for silverware for their own meals we could charge them up to a dollar and only one cocktail napkin per passenger per flight, additional napkins 5c each.
Seat belt extensions may only be provided when a passenger of size purchases two seats, otherwise we could charge them $10 rental. Working reading lights and air vents could definitely be turned into a revenue source.
Passengers must walk to the back galley to obtain refreshments. Delivery could be an extra charge much like companies (including ours) charge to speak to a real person.


We could have a great time with this. Unfortunately, many of these ideas could very well be reality in the next few years. :huh:

Some more revenue generating ideas.

1) Maybe we could deduct from ramp employees pay for each bag lost or broken into.
2) Start using credit card swipes in the planes so the cash doesn't disappear.
3) Charge the agent that waives a charge just because the person looked like they couldn't afford it.
4) Put a swear jar where the employee would have to kick in a buck for everytime they bad mouth the airline to a customer.

Too bad I’m not in the States right now; Home Depot is having a sale on shovels.

I could pick one up for you to help you dig that hole you’re in.

This guy is a TROLL

Feeding his idiocy is beneath everyone on this board.

Let this nauseating thread die, maybe he'll go away.

Anyone that grateful for a job obviously has an IQ deficit.

Folks,

Enough of the name calling...argue the point but do not argue with the poster....

And you're right....I think this thread has gone on long enough.
