Reflections on the airline industry
After working for an airline for a year, I learned many interesting facts that aren't usually obvious. For example, it appears there is almost a conspiracy surrounding the attitude and intent of the major airlines. Anyone who has a frequent flyer or mileage card knows that some cards can be used with other airlines, but not all. The major airlines are divided into 2 groups: the government ones (Air Canada, Us Air, American) and the Geographical (?) ones, i.e. Northwest, Continental.
