As a passenger and FF, their program is turning into a joke. IT investments are clearly lacking still, resulting in a program that may or may not work as designed depending on how the wind blows. While I thought the crew was surly during the VA merger, I'd say the current attitudes are almost worse, again resulting in a subpar onboard experience. About the only damn thing they are kicking ... and leading in is the food catering. Ultimately it comes down to poor management, but the AS of pre merger was much better than what we got from the anchor of AA.
