The Association of Flight Attendants-CA says it remains focused on helping workers at Aloha Airlines navigate through hard times. A bankruptcy judge this week let the company go ahead with a shutdown of the airline’s passenger service, throwing 1900 people, including 350 union flight attendants, out of work. Flight attendants union president Patricia Friend says this is an example of how bankruptcy laws fail to protect workers while favoring companies.

1. Bush/Cheney Oil Policy Didnt Help

With oil prices higher, and Aloha's 737-200 aging fleet, and maintenance,
recession, and competition from GO.
Although their 737-800/900 mainland service was getting back to profitability, they just couldnt hold on......

:cry: :hi:

2. Welcome To The Real World Patricia Friend

So nice of you to notice that the laws favor corporations, and not the average person. When did the lightbulb go off inside your dim little brain?

I'm sure they'll get cake, from their superiors, if they're nice.
