AIRI STRIKE

Flight attendants at Southwest Airlines are going on strike today, using a plan called CHAOS: create havoc around our system. The idea is to walk off at random. So they might wait till a plane is all boarded, then walk out right before the doors close, leaving passengers stranded. Rude, but effective.

I can’t imagine what it is these guys are so angry about. Maybe it’s Southwest’s demand that they take a 40% cut in pay along with a 25% increase in working hours.

Southwest isn’t heartless, though. After stating their position they distributed a list of economic tips, aimed at helping employees survive the reduced salaries. Some of the tips were:

- Never shop when you’re hungry.
- Cut your children’s hair yourself.
- Don’t be shy about taking items out of the trash.

I give you my word, I am not making this up. If you have a Southwest flight coming up soon, check in with the strike first.

One foot on either side.
