[Butch Cassidy Slept Here]

For those who feel PHX has redeeming characteristics, I fail to see how such traits could have justified his continued access to this board. One of PHX's "lesser offenses" was failing to identify himself as an airline employee. As of last night, on another site, he identified himself as a "flight attendant." Today, that same site has the words "flight attendant" omitted.

I printed-out a copy of the site, with the "flight attendant" words.

I think input, on this site, from airline employees, and their friends, is a GOOD thing. Said input can turn BAD when airline employees try to suppress topics that make them uncomfortable--through name-calling or otherwise. Again, when someone violates the rule of this board requiring identification of airline employees, then their motives can be called into question.

As I said in a previous post: Boards like this are, essentially, the ONLY outlet for the expression of customer complaints and possible resolutions, like passenger rights. Those, on this board who support the airlines--blindly, and otherwise--have the backings of the well-paid staff and resouces of the Air Transport Association and the hefty contributions the airlines give to political candidates who support the status-quo of airline-customer relations.
