Why The Flight Cancellation Crisis Is About To Get Worse
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 июл 2022
- Airlines are set to spend billions on new stock buybacks - despite mass flight cancellations & understaffing. Congress banned the practice in 2020 after U.S. airlines spent $47 billion on buybacks last decade. Now the ban is about to expire. Sara Nelson and the Association of Flight Attendants is calling to extend it.

Sara Nelson is a great American and a genuine hero.
I'm so fcking disgusted, and tired of this sort of BS. No employer in America gives a single nugget of sht about their employees and it needs to change ASAP. We need a _National Sick-Out_ day to begin with.
None of them care. All of the are price gouging us. Using us
We need to general strike where everybody goes on strike for one day or two days they've done it in other countries they've.
done that in Europe.
The difference in income between the upper upper Rich and the poor people at the bottom the rich better watch their asses because the pitchforks and maybe the guillotines are coming up
When companies run their business as bad as a lot of airlines do then negotiating more paid sick days and vacation days is wise. To many companies in U.S. don't care if they burn out their employees.
No more corporate bailouts without conditions.
Greed is a terrible thing.
You guys really do an amazing job!
I despise Ronald Reagon so much. Stock buybacks are literal stock manipulation that provide no substantive service or product. They need to be returned to being completely outlawed.
Thank you, Sara Nelson, and the AFA, and MPU crew.
The best decision I ever made was leaving aviation after 18yrs with UAL. I knew after 9/11 it would be never the same. Then the recession in 08 and Covid in 2020. It seems like the industry gets hammered every 8-10 yrs.
Workers aren't protected, get low pay, and no/little benefits. The pilots are in debt because of flight school and can't afford to pay it off because of their wages. This is the airlines' fault. CONGRESS NEEDS TO FIX IT!
Things weren’t thiscway before DEREGULATION
Thank you Sarah & team for your amazing representation of us in congress ! Really appreciate your positive , supportive action! 👌💖👌
Either make your company work or go under. No more tax payers Money to bail out air lines anymore. F... That. Companies use the money to buy back stocks and do nothing to help their workers.
Exactly.
EXCELLENT!!!!
Sarah Nelson is one of the standard bearers of true Union representation and why it is necessary. If anyone is looking to form a Union or make their Union better. Do your level best to contact her and learn from someone who is on the front lines getting it done.
It's a legal requirement for companies to take care of their investors, not their employees or the future of the company, as ridiculous as it sounds.
Bring them to their knees!!!!!! The people need to take America 🇺🇸 back!!!!!!
My grandson flight from, Charleston, NC TO Seattle was canceled due to insufficient staff to change a flat tire….TRUE STORY
You know how much effort it takes to jack up a 737-200?
Well here we are one year later and my 25 year old daughter had to drive from Jacksonville, Florida to Denver Colorado on Christmas day because their flights were continuously delayed and then canceled and that was on Southwest. Same daughter had to drive from San Antonio to Denver in June (and back), and yesterday their flight got canceled so they drive to Austin to catch a different flight and then they get stuck in Charlotte NC overnight when THAT flight was cancelled and this morning, their rebooked flight was delayed for fog and mysteriously cancelled 3 hours later. No fog to speak of. Now they’re taking an Uber 1/2 way and meeting family to go the other half. This is completely unacceptable. The longer we accept this and allow it to continue, the less likely it will get fixed. Meanwhile executives are lining their fat pockets. Pete Butigieg is a fUck!ng clown.
Who is the head of the FAA? Pete! Pete needs to fix this!
Billy Nolan is the FAA head but Mayor Pete is his boss as Transportation Head. Mayor Pete is a deep state tool.
Forget it. Pete was a mayor of some town in Indiana. I don’t know who’s worse. Brandon or his pathetic Cabinet picks.
@@curtbowers7817The airline industry has sucked for far longer than your narrow opinion.
Other Unions, watch and learn!!
Totally agree with everything to do with buy backs but I think touching the dividend is pushing it
Gotta love the Unions
Please donate to more perfect union

Stock market shenanigans! One person's passive income is another person's active life force.
Amen.
Wealth comes from labor.
*Our* labor.
@@elnegrobembon neo-feudalism, plain and simple.
Apparently you forgotten the stamina of the American people
Executive pay should be illegal
too late
Folks need to pay attention to who is funding their candidate - it always matters who you vote for.
It should have crashed
BRRRAP
They did what teachers did. They went on strike when we needed them, most. Shame on them.
@Bodhi, so then, what would you recommend they should have done instead, keep on working under the same deplorable conditions as they watched colleagues be laid off while shareholders and execs cleaned up? Seriously now, let’s hear your ideas. Forget about teachers for the moment. Let’s talk about airline workers.
