Great Gazoo's Guidance Needed American Airlines at Odds
Yabba Dabba Doo, folks It's Fred Flinstone here, your friendly neighborhood caveman and expert on all things... well, everything really.

Bad weather and a bad year have made the unions see red. The pilots and flight attendants are not happy, saying Isom is missing the human factor. Missing the human factor is like forgetting the brontosaurus ribs at a Bedrock BBQ It's a major foul-up
Chicago Showdown and Analyst Doubts Yabba Dabba Don't Count Your Chickens
United is trying to keep American Airlines out of Chicago O'Hare. Meanwhile, analysts are wondering if American can turn things around. One analyst said it could take over a decade to cultivate a premium image. That’s longer than it took me to learn how to bowl without throwing the ball backwards
