Storms shut down the operation this week. Management stayed open. Management considers this the important part.
Summer storms tore through the country this week and the airlines fell apart. Flights canceled by the thousands. Passengers stranded at gates from coast to coast. At Headquarters, the mood was calm.
Aluminum Lady spent the week explaining her philosophy for moments like these. She finds it elegant. Gerald, our general counsel, found parts of it concerning. He was overruled, which is his job.
There was also good news at the office: passenger complaints are way down. AL is so pleased she wants a press release about it. The reasons complaints are down will not be in the press release.
Then, late in the week, her phone rang. The call had nothing to do with weather and everything to do with money. By Friday the jet was fueled. Where she is going, and why, is next week’s problem.

Airlines for Airlines is fictional. Everything it does is not.
