“10 flight attendants told Insider a myriad of factors make it difficult to leave the Bay Area”

They’re asking 400 to move and only TEN are complaining????

Heck that sounds like a win win to me.

Also. I suspect 10 are probably heavily invested in the San Francisco “lifestyle”.......if you know what I mean.

But where are they going to find a gaggle of 50 year old fat women to replace them?

Looks like more Californians coming to Texas.

However, you can be sure AA will continue to donate to Democrats.

There’s a simple solution: Just get a cheap apartment at one of the approved airport cities and keep your California residence. Share the apartment with four or five other flight attendants. Do they still get unlimited free travel on the airline to get back to the Bay Area?

People in the airline industry are used to that model.

I still doubt that Newsom got the message that tax policies on business matter, especially when major cities are transitioning into cesspools.

citing economic factors and shifting customer demand

NO ONE wants to go to a lib ran, rat/feces/homeless/homo-depravity infested city.

Even Stevie Wonder saw this.

” and asking 400 flight attendants to leave California or...”

No one had to ask me to leave California (decades ago).

In June, the Supreme Court ruled that a state law requiring workers get a break every few hours does in fact apply to California-based airline employees.

Some SFO-based flight attendants suspect they don't have the option to transfer to Los Angeles — a larger American hub — because the airline could exit California altogether.

Thank the insanity of the California Legislature. Flights won't be able to depart on schedule because stews will be on their California mandated break, which will cause a cascading delay down the line. So I can definitely see AA shutting also down their LA base down the line as this comes to fruition. It'll be easier to shuttle in out of state stews, which aren't subject to the same break rules...yet.

The real reason they’re closing the base is because California passed a crazy labor law requiring a certain amount of breaks per day that makes it almost impossible to run their schedule. They tried to fight it but the Supreme Court ruled California can apply it to aircrew based there so American is closing the base to avoid dealing with it.

They’re flight attendants for crying out loud. Every couple of hours they’re in a new state and city. Just move, as long as you don’t move to the Rocky Mtns.

In closing its San Francisco base, citing economic factors and shifting customer demand...

So, American doesn't fly to 'Venezuela; Guatemala, Honduras, Colombia and Uruguay?
