The dynamics in the union are such that they have to project ‘strength’ at all costs. They’re locked in a game where to maintain power internally they have to saber rattle, no matter the issue.

Michelle Lavin of New York is “putting JetBlue on the legal hot seat” over an incident on a Las Vegas flight that occurred over Labor Day weekend in 2014, but she’s only just now suing.

At several points in time American Airlines has been unable to book premium cabin awards on Etihad, especially for travel between the US and Abu Dhabi. For the last two years the workaround has been to call the American Airlines reservation line in Australia which rings in agents in Fiji.
