They have us all by the short strings.As for EE’s of the industry…ughhh that makes my stomach roll. Not like you can "feel" job security in any airline these days!

Is there such a thing as job security in any workplace, let alone an airline? Sorry for both the workers and the travellers… also the airports and ground services who would likely have gotten stiffed by Zoom today. |
