I’m not sure if there is a term for this phobia, but I have the fear of airlines losing my luggage. My memory of the few times my luggage was lost by the airlines includes waiting until I’m the last guy standing at the baggage carousel. Even the airline might not know where it is.

RyanAir, Europe’s largest airline, in my view are the epitome of a poor Customer Experience. Over the last few days, they have proven this yet again as the airline has begun cancelling hundreds of flights. The reason for the cancellations, according to the airline, is a shift in the vacation policy for pilots. While pilots used to have a vacation year that ran from April to March, the airline is switching to a January to December schedule. Cheap Airlines: Low Prices!

Last week United Airlines had a computer outage that lasted two and a half hours and caused 200 flight delays and six cancellations. And it may not be a computer glitch, but a weather problem that causes airline delays. But, what I can speak to is the general response that United Airlines made, and how it was a perfect example of what to do in a crisis situation.

I’ve been flying major airlines for a long time, and like everyone else, I’ve noticed the changes – and not in a good way. At American Airlines, for example, incentive payments for top executives are now determined exclusively by income and cost savings. One reason for this, the Times reports, is that airlines and other industries are under pressure from Wall Street to return strong profits each year. Cheap Airlines: Low Prices!
