Not much of a win with American giving them back their tips, not charging the 2 bucks for curbside, instead lets charge 15 bucks a bag.  So American agrees to tips but who will while they are collecting the 15 dollars?  Gotcha ya.  Way to go American, not.

hi all,

Please rate our site! at the top left of the front page there is a button banner. You can rate our site from there. I would be appreciated..thanks. Suggestions would be kool too.

I only used this thread cuz it was the most populated...lol

I’ve never worked for tips, so I have no idea what it would be like.  But wouldn’t a raise from $5.15 an hour to $12 or $15 be significate?  It just feels like greed to me.  I’m a poor airline employee so a $6+ an hour raise would blow me away.

Figure a dollar a bag, what do they check a day 200-400 a day?  Pretty significant.  I’ve heard that sky caps checking the bags can make like 50,000 a year on up.  Not bad.  At 15 an hour about 31,000, so it was a cut in pay.  I guess if you were used to making that your expenses are pretty equal to your earnings so raising hourly rates proabably crunched their lifestyle. (Violin playing)

Holy Cow!!!  I had no idea.  I guess cuz I never see it here in Phoenix.  Plus being an airline employee you NEVER get curb side.  You’re just hoping to get on a plane!!!  LOL

The airline then turns around and charges more for amenities and fares.They really do that..

Regards

It is pretty sad that a lawsuit is what it takes. 

Very true, it’s a shame. But if a lawsuit can settle it once and for all then so be it!
