Stamping your feet and screaming like a little child just because our MEC isn't willing to cave in to your every demand does not do anyone within this profession justice.
I'm not pleased with our MEC for some of the actions they are taking, in fact, I often tell many of those I work with that I have flown under PBS in the past and if it is programmed correctly, it can be a lot more stress free than our current line bidding. I just don't think that the shoddy management team that we have in place is capable of getting it right if we allowed them that tool. The only two examples I have of working under similar programmes to ASA are Rainmaker and SkedPlus+, both of which has been fraught with problems that still haven't been resolved. I have no problem with the ASA pilot group, I take issue with the management team we have inherited from Atlanta. Since they have taken charge nearly everything at L-XJT has got worse.
I just cannot stand your decisive, childish behaviour on these message boards. You are a troll who seeks to poke the fire and stir the pot constantly. I rarely get involved in these discussions because it always ends up in a childish argument. But you sir, disgust me in your behaviour.
Thanks for your opinion, which nobody asked for. Pretty shallow of you to defend your judging my entire character by my (admittedly) trolling, childish web posts. Sorry, I guess I missed the memo that the internet message boards were for something other than rumors and entertainment. If you truly "know all about me", then you know how to find me. When you do, I'll gladly buy you lunch and we can have a "real" conversation. And that offer is open to all of you.
I really, truly hope you don't get furloughed again. Or anyone on the L-XJT side for that matter. But if it happens, you have no one to blame but your MEC for their pigheadedness, not us, and not management.
