First of all, I never said I agreed with the comments I made in my post. I said that is how the airlines feel, NOT ME. I've worked for the airlines for two years, and I'm simply passing along what the airlines think. Not how I, personally, think. The airlines do not care whether you fly them, or not. I could care less if the end of the airlines come, it makes no different to me. But that will not happen. The government will not allow the airlines to fail, because it is too important to our economy.

I am not hitting the unemployment line. I do this job part-time while finishing college. I plan on taking the summer off, and already have other jobs I can get, afterward.

Sorry if you took my original post wrong, but, again, I never said I feel that way, but that is how the airline feel.

BTW -- I am ****** at Continental myself, as well as the airlines, in general, and would be glad if you don't fly them again. My hope is that more people do as yourself, because that is what it will take to make things change.

I go out of my way to help customers, but the airlines treat employees as bad as customers, which is why I cannot wait until my last day of work. I'm counting it down like the last day of school. An example of how the airlines can treat their own employeed --- a fellow agent was recently fired for upgrading passengers to first class, when they were inconvenienced. The airline said that this agent had cost the airline "X" amount of money, by doing this, because it wasn't policy. It is stuff like that, that makes me glad to finally have an end to this job. I've wanted to quit for awhile, but now don't have to. I'll take my severance, take the summer off, relax, and then sit back and hope more people like you take a stand, and maybe the airlines will wake up. But I don't see the airlines waking up anytime soon -- because, as I said, they do not care.
