Individual boycotts will never work. We must strike as hard as we can. We need to collectively determine which airline is the worst. If everyone boycotts an airline based on a late flight or mishandled bag then we'll be boycott all airlines and moving our business to other boycotted airlines.
Instead, we must pick 1 or 2 airlines as the strike target. Some FTers will not be able to participate because of business reasons, such as only one airline has convenient schedules to Phoenix or Akron, for example. Then we must alert the airline that the rest of us are acting as one unit. A cooperative name or a form letter identifying this as strike action will either enhance our union power (or show how few members we have).
Enhancements must end! If they call this enhancement, what is a devaluation? Maybe that's airline speak for a good thing for passengers??!
Why don't you and
Journalist212 band together and start a boycott? You both are very articulate and skillful, so I think you are off to a good start and you will be able to dramatically impact the industry one airline at a time. And don't forget to include Randy as well.
