Flight Attendants Speak Out on American Airlines Executive Bonus

Bonuses over the last six years employees have contributed over $7 billion to bail-out American Airlines and have received nothing in return. As a result, management has reaped rewards totaling $296 million during that same period. In describing similar conduct by executives of companies that have received massive doses of government aid. President Obama stated that it was outrageous for these corporate officers to enrich themselves with multi-million dollar bonuses.

We feel the love Bela....Thank you.

We may be on different sides of the street, but it's the same street. What happens to one airline, could happen to all....Thanks again

Very good point dickyco2....but after this much time at this job ...retirement sounds better than changing careers. However...many of us ARE working on other jobs....some to get out....some just to survive. My wife and I "Both of us Flight Attendants for AA"...are doing both....trying to survive and get out...ASAP

You are US!! We are 6800 Air Canada Flight Attendants fight ing this same injustice. Our Government has just stopped us from striking after a 98% strike vote because our executives and our union are in bed with our Governmnet! we have been scared into not being able to speak publicly about this with the threat of being fired if we do so! Watching this video I thank you and salute you for being able to speak publicly and i will be sharing this video with all my fellow Flight Attendants!

If you are unhappy working for American Airlines. It would be best for you and your fellow co-workers to start looking for new jobs elsewhere. My suggestion, do it on your time off and once you find something that you like just give them your two weeks notice. By doing that you will leave on good terms for a better opportunity. Also, American executives will suffer because they don't understand how to treat their employees well. Good employees who are mistreated will leave.

I bet all those corporates spent all that money on drugs.

[spankyf14]

I agree completely. All 3 unions have been in negotiations since 2008. Bring Crandall back, if he can't fix AA no one can

[Sooksawaspakdee961]

One thing is for sure, the executives of AA sure as hell don`t fly with their own airline.

The stuff their pockets full of bonus money and head of in their private jets planning their next move to screw their employees and customers of even more money and bring their already beyond lousy customer service to new low levels.

[Sooksawaspakdee961]

Their are still some good airlines in the North America that takes care of their employees and customers like Southwest. AA has gone down the drain in at every aspect from customer service, delays, safety (check out AA safety record during the years), i rather take bus or train rather than to fly with AA again.

[w5pda]

Clearly the executives of AMR don't give a flying **** about their employees, particularly the FA's.

[Gqboy731]

I used to work for AA and I am happy that the Flight Attendants are speaking out against senior management. I hope you all get what you want. Stay strong.

wow. always greedy bastards on top!

[hac12394]

people will never truly realise how much cabin crew do! I completely agree with what you are all saying- you spend all that time with passengers, you work that 12 hour flight and you deliver the service which people pay for yet CEOs and managers seem to think that they are the ones doing the work. I completely support you- my Mum is on the same boat with BA wanting to cut pay to absolute minimum etc. People think you are trolley dollys- you are not!! Good luck in your battles, I wish you well
