You go to three going-away parties in one week.

Police on standby as American Airlines announces massive layoffs

It’s a sad day at American Airlines. I’m thinking back to when they laid off 20% of the flight attendants at United, me among them. And we found out on the news. I hope AA treats those departing much better.

Of course, in a letter to employees that lays out a plan for going forward, they promise to create a new “superior customer experience.” I’m not sure how you do that with 20% fewer workers.

Why not admit to customers and employees that cost-cutting is number one, even though that will mean an “inferior” experience for all. Simple math.

Turns out the cost of cheap flights is feckin’ high.

I saw this video on Christine Negroni’s blog and fell over laughing. These lovely ladies have outdone themselves singing about the hidden fees, outrageous inconveniences and absolute shite we deal with when we try to get something for nothing. We should know that you can’t, but isn’t the idea of a attaining a jet-set lifestyle so seductive?

Unfortunately, the real cost of low-fares includes more than bad service and extra fees. It includes maintenance done in third-world countries; underpaid (think 12 bucks an hour), inexperienced pilots (which should change in 2013); and crews that are so exhausted they may as well be drunk.

But forget all that, just enjoy this video. It’s fecking hilarious.
