NWA is headed out of Chapter 11, but seems to never be able to get its employee relations right. If they dont, the employees will sabotage the company commercially through bad attitude. UAL never ceases to amaze me with the shenanigans of their employees. Recent flight through ORD the airline ticket counter person didnt have on a name badge...literally she had a big button on that said "SHOP STEWARD". Like I care. Keep up the good stuff!

They did it to the peril of their own jobs. A very high price to pay for standing up for the right thing. The current corporate environment is about nothing other than stealing from companies and employees for the enrichment of "executives" who sit on each other's boards and award each other absurd riches, even for failure, while ruining the lives of tens of thousands of employees, each one many times more loyal to the company then themselves.
