Hey @RepublicAirways your crew scheduling sucks. My flight is delayed because you can’t figure out how to staff a flight… and the crew desk won’t let the **available** flight attendant who is VOLUNTEERING to work the flight actually work it.

[Erik Jacobsen @eakthecat]

Hey @AmericanAir when an employee comes a in uniform, they represent the company regardless of if they’re working a flight, deadheading, etc. You might want to remind the employee seated in 1F on flight 2723 of that as their behavior this morning does not reflect well on y’all.

@AmericanExpress hey all, trying to understand why after I took the stairs to the lounge, like I normally do, you had someone make me take the stairs back down and then take the elevator back up? This makes no sense? Especially for those of us who take the stairs to stay fit!

Hey @TMobileHelp @TMobile I’ve been with you for 18+ years. My plan is going up, but new customers get a better plan for my old plans price. Why can’t a 2-decade loyal customer get the same?

Update: the smelly brown substance does NOT appear to be feces as it is not coming off with soap and water—or the lounge could have ineffective soap. Next attempt: an alcohol-based hand-cleaner.

It’s been a couple years since I was on an @AmericanAir plane small enough to require valeting my carry-on… seems that having the only yellow priority tag now means that your bag is the last one to be returned in CLT and the only one to be returned smeared in brown smelly stuff.

@Ankit_official @consultingcmdy They’re the butt of a lot of consulting jokes because they’re smaller than the other “Big 4” and focus more on work-life balance and doing the right thing instead of their competitors’ up or out mentality.

Doing @Marriott mobile check-in as a Titanium elite the second it opens —Free
Arriving on-time to find the hotel is oversold and they don’t know when or if they’ll have a room for you—Expensive
Having to explain to your clients why Marriott is making you miss a meeting—Priceless

[Erik Jacobsen @eakthecat]

@AmericanAir No, it really wasn’t. The reason I *always* pre-oder is so that I’m not stuck with something terrible. And, I have to say, this was the first inedible FC meal I’ve had on AA in ~5-6 years. The plastic cutlery and lack of napkin was just insult to injury.

[Erik Jacobsen @eakthecat]

WTF is up with @AmericanAir catering? I’m flying First from CLT-LAS on AA2470. I preordered the Chicken Picatta. Everyone else in this cabin received decent meals with actual silverware. I received a bare and dry chicken breast, salad no dressing, and a plastic knife/fork… huh?

Old La Guardian: 5 min curb to gate w/PreCheck during peak times.
New @LGAairport: 40 min curb to gate w/preCh CL during off hours.
We NY taxpayers spent how many billions of dollars for a worse experience? Why?

[Erik Jacobsen @eakthecat]

Is there something wrong with the @greenchef website? I’ve been trying for three days to log in and on both Mac and PC computers I just keep getting “504 Gateway Time-out” and on Android and iPhone I get “502 Bad Gateway”. I just want to select my meals… help?
