DunkinDonut:
Many people in CUN also remember Angus and how he masterminded the relief effort to fly in water, medical supplies etc during the devastating hurricane a couple of years ago.
Yes he did well in CUN, but the same hurricane wreaked havoc in FLL and we did not get a word of thanks: no electricity for almost two weeks (cold showers aren't wonderful), had to boil water for two weeks (thank goodness for the gas bbq), over $38k in damage including the loss of part of my roof.
Not one word of thanks for not missing or being late to a trip. Not even the slightest recognition of the hurricane from anyone in management.

busmonkey: Before trashing Angus too much, consider how many other carriers in your market niche have pulled the plug and left their employees high and dry in the past 9 months. That your carrier is still a going concern is at least in part due to the abilities of your managment. Perhaps you should give 'Gus a bit of credit there?
We don't really have a niche. We are only keeping our one domestic destination open to keep our 121 domestic active. Our only customer has always been Apple Vacations (which is owned by our owner). They have a niche. We just move a very few of their customers. We are mainly here as a bargaining chip to keep the charter company's costs low.
