If you say that voting trump means stopping the genocide it’s clear that we are not having an honest conversation. You are a troll and I’m not wasting any nore time around you.
You keep writing comments like the only choices are voting for Trump or voting for Biden. Voting third party or not voting at all are also options, and neither one as as much blood on my hands as voting for both pro-genocide candidates.
In that case maybe your heart is in the right place but that’s still not a reasonable solution, as de facto there are only two choices and voting for neither or not voting at all is not helping when the risk is enabling a totalitarian regime that literally plans on killing people and eradicating hard-earned freedoms.
Your reading comprehension is failing you. Let me spell it out explicitly for you: I am definitely not voting for Trump. I am not voting for Biden. There are other options.
Let’s say that you vote for trump and even just ten more people die because of his measures: ten people more than with the less aggressive contributions from the democrats. At that point you have directly participated in killing those people. You can find all the excuses you want but that’s the crude reality.
Not only that, the the typo is a legitimate word, meaning it won’t be flagged by spell check. HOWEVER, that’s no excuse to not proofread a submitted article. In fact, it’s more reason why one should.
Any company that intentionally underpays their employees so that they require govt assistance to live should be billed the full cost of all assistance that employee receives.
The wealthy NEED the airports to keep running so not to interfere with their vacation plan. Starving kids on the other hand can simply be rewoven as doormats by any good capitalist.
Well you could also live in some Podunk in Atlanta… Honestly I could see purchasing property in frequently traveled areas… Even if you just have an RV in some lot.
Lol long term RV parking starts at about $700 a month. I am sure it is more expensive on the east coast. Pretty quickly you are paying about the same as renting a room. And if it is just sitting in an empty lot no way it will be in the same shape as when you left it. Plus why Atlanta, it is not the most dangerous city but it does rank in the bottom 1/3.
You are just going to have to trust me on this. That isn’t going to work. Airports are kind of picky about how they let employees park. Also there will be no American airlines flight attendants based out of Atlanta, so they won’t be able to park employee parking. They will have to pay to park and I doubt that they would let you park an RV.
These flight attendants are literally being paid a poverty wage. Ain’t no hustle and jive that’s going to get around that.
Or maybe you should put pressure on a multimillion dollar company to pay their employees a living wage, rather than defend them while blaming the workers
It is strange that this job went from glamorous to real shit.
You had a government mandated floor on prices until the 70’s in the USA and the 90’s in the EU, which meant that airlines had to compete on amenities and other ways to pull traffic to their airline. Once that price floor was removed, it became apparent that ticket prices were what drove most traffic, so airlines started doing whatever they could to drop ticket prices.
They’re hourly. I still can’t believe this is legal.
Edit: found an article on it. Spoiler: it’s legal because the government makes all sorts of exceptions for airlines. Their unions even have to get government permission to strike!
Thank you Railway Labor Act of 1926. It’s actually not all bad, but it does put railway and airline workers in a different class. It all depends on how the National Mediation Board is feeling that day.
Been that way forever. Parking brake release with door closed was the standard for a long time. Now they have parking systems on the terminal that sense the aircraft and don’t start the clock until the aircraft pushes back, and stop the clock as soon as it’s parked even if you’re sitting there for 30 minutes waiting for the jet bridge or whatever.
Yeah but they also used to have a good enough pay that it was still an okay deal, even if the clock only ran during aircraft movement. It’s still the case with other airlines I have an old friend that went to work for Etihad and he seems to be doing fine. Tells me about the nice weekends away all over the world during rest time, lives in a nice apartment in Dubai with a view, etc. Granted I’d never want to live there but I’m sure you can achieve similar lifestyle with other international airlines (Singapore, KLM, etc etc).
Sure, back before deregulation. But the pay today for new cabin crew is not what you think it is, and it takes quite a few years before you can keep your head above water. Some other national carriers like Etihad are going to be different, but they have a lot of other rules to put up with for that extra pay.
Oh for sure at the end of the day it’s still massive corporate industries so, ya know, corporate gonna corporate… Long gone are the days where it was a dream career.
