Airline Gossip Live

We'll be chatting about everything happening at what used to be the World's largest airlines, American Airlines.  From the Tom Del Valle drama to the Arpey family vacation in the Turks and Caicos!  Join us for talk about travel, destinations and corporate greed.  Plus anything else that's on your mind!

  Gailen David aka The Sky Steward, Savvy Stew and also known for his alter ego "Aluminum Lady"  shares his wild life on the fly as a travel blogger and on-air travel host.  You can see him several times per month on Daytime which airs in over 100 US markets as well as on Good Day Oregon and other regional and local programs. He is also a recurring guest on "Park Secrets" which airs on The Travel Channel. Chat with Gailen and his guests about lots of entertaining travel topics including celebrities, Jetiquette faux pas and what's right and wrong in travel-space. After a 24 year career as a flight attendant for American Airlines, Gailen was terminated after he exposed corporate corruption at the airline. American Airlines also filed a lawsuit along with motions to subpoena all of his records from Facebook, Twitter, ATT Wireless and more.  Although he is no longer with American Airlines, he is leading tens of thousands of their employees on a crusade to bring their airline back to the leadership position it held for so long with new management and a re-energized workforce. 

It's time to chat live on the air! Call into the show and ask me questions and/or share your travel stories and let's talk! Remain anonymous or put it all out there!  Visit Dear Sky Steward for the latest!  Today we'll be talking about what is happening at American Airlines regarding social media and the company's efforts to stifle communications between employees during a very difficult time. Should companies make one deal with their employees and then change the rules offering nothing more than a suggestion to find another job?  Lots to talk about.
