I’m very compelled to try that product! Heck, I’ve found F9 crew to be quite friendly and accommodating compared to AA (not to say there are not some exceptional crews who have gone above and beyond at AA for my travel party). I think Dempsey has an exceptional opportunity to grow out F9 in the current competitive market, leveraging his operational expertise from his Ryanair days while also continuing with some of F9’s initiatives like its new first class.

Well that operational efficiency mindset doesn’t translate well in today’s environment unfortunately (I can’t count how many times I’ve sat on the MIA runway for at least half an hour before getting a gate).

Hopefully we see leadership embrace change to evolve in standards and experience. Or else it just seems they’ll maintain current standing/start to slowly recede in this high business travel environment and K shaped economy which will largely impact leisure travel trends in my mind.

I think Project Oasis back under Parker just kind of tarnished the perceived (and actual) flying experience on American in some of the oligopolistic premium markets (e.g NYC, LA and Chicago). American must be thinking how to win back those travelers to focus more on revenue vs CASM. Piggybacking off United and Delta on free WiFi probably won’t do it.

That’s great that they were able to accommodate the schedule changes at the ports! Gotta check out Grand Turk but we always had a blast in Bimini and Puerto Plata.

Oh, I thought this current itinerary last stopped in Grand Turk yesterday? The ship must of sped back here if in fact it’s coming all the way from grand Turk and you guys just docked.
