You have posted before about your displeasure with the 'W', well do what you can do make sure it doesn’t happen again. I have said before that most people know how and why the company was created; nothing is going to change any of that. What can change is whether it happens again or not.
So many people can type so big and bad but would never say what they type in person, which says a lot about their character. In person I would choose to politely ignore the idiots and loud mouths because I was brought up to not say anything if you can’t say something nice, the problem with that is on an internet forum idiots and loud mouths can be overpowering like the bully in school. They make a lot of noise and are intimidating but that’s about it.
At least I am consistant.....? There are wins and loses between us and management. What would have happened if Go Jet couldn't staff because for once, pilots showed some unity, and none showed up to fly for Go Jet? Could have been an epic fail for them. Don't deflect by answering a question with a question.
Finally, what's with the intimadation talk? I hope no one is threatening anyone. I personally like the forums, because people can say what is on their minds in an industry where rocking the boat is still looked down upon greatly. I hate hearing that 'aviation is small, so watch out, or things will come back to bite you.' We all know the implicit threat of speaking out. I do realize with CRM crews are more open to dissenting for immediate safety reasons, but that's about as far as making waves goes. Why can't the mentality be 'aviation is small and close knit, and we all watch out for each other.'? When folks say Go Jet and pay for jobs have hurt the industry, isn't it because they want what is better for the group? I know I do.
But hey, if it's good for you, who cares, right? I love that mentality.
