News and notes from around the interweb:
- With American Airlines laying off customer service agents Jon NYC tells us they don’t actually have a plan for how to provide service to top customers:
AA: in the migration to overseas call centers, the rumors about what’s to happen with the teams that provide specialized service to best customers
(4/5 eagle, CK — and really CR/ACS/CBRO in general) point to a LOT of uncertainty about what happens and when.— JonNYC (@xJonNYC) February 25, 2024

- Tropical resorts popular with Americans no longer ‘off limits’ for [Mexican] cartel killers: ‘The rules have changed’
Unfortunately , the “cartel killers” may even be coming here through the open border , ( not only resorts down there ) . Crazy times on the border .
“Back to the office” has not hit DC. It is a ghost town downtown compared to pre-pandemic. Still lots of vacant storefronts. And the Old Post Office property is not an attractive location and has never been a success in any of its forms. At the same time, the increase in crime has reduced both local and tourist traffic. CRE is in big trouble there.
Oh yes American knows what they are doing…trying to make everything AI in the future…NO LIVE HELP.
Mexico is no longer the safe country I used to go to in the 1980s. I had great times visiting then. I hope that a way to stop the violence is found.
@Alert is factually correct: Bloomberg just reported that Venezuela has its lowest homicide rate in 22 years because their gangs are coming here. They literally opened their prisons, and the vast majority is now in the United States.
