While I won't go in depth and nit pick, your statement is true about shareholders and management being employees. I was incorrect in my statement but what I was trying to say is that management has a job...manage and make macro decisions more or less. Other employees (i.e. pilots, which is what I am) are just that...pilots. Not business leaders of their respective companies. We are not paid to dissect 10-k reports, merger plans, depreciation of aircraft, or other issues that management typically does (at least upper management).

You are also correct about NDAs overall. Not entirely. They are a critical business tool that needs to be used but not abused. I believe we can agree on this. At Eagle it would appear at times that it is abused but none the less they are business critical documents that must be singed by multiple parties, including our union.

My overall point is that some individuals (RJ Pilot for instance) acts like a know it all doom and gloom chicken little. And will pounce at anything while attempting to throw mud at the wall to see what sticks.

NDAs are important within reason. Fleet plans and business plans are important. As our job as pilots, we are not entitled to ALL the information at anytime we want...this applies to most work groups in most industry. I am speaking generally but I think you get the point, What.
