For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: ~Ecclesiastes 3:1
Little did we know at the time what the outcome of our efforts would be! Everyone at AWA was always looking forward to success. There were some who whined a lot but most of us always looked at the brighter side. We cared about our little Airline.
Does it matters that those who sacrifice the most never seem to be rewarded as much as the takers of this world? Of course it matters but that’s life here on planet earth. The end of it all is always the same; it’s the joy of the journey that defines true success.
It was the takers of this world that brought US Airways to their knees, and the takers of this world that brought American Airlines to their knees. The AWA employees, the ones who sacrificed the most, are those who made it possible for US Air, American and AWA combined to become the largest Airline in the World.
I’m not saying that American Airlines and US Airways didn’t have employees that made sacrifices, because there were many of them who did, but their ranks were filled with many who had the attitude of the takers.
History reminds us that humanity is always the same. The probability of the new American Airlines being a success is iffy at best but there is one thing that all the employees can do to make the journey a fantastic one. And, that one thing is to forget about self and love your fellow employee. Keep in mind that love and sacrifice are synonymous. FOR EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON !
