Let's just save some money by not following policy, or ignore what was previously agreed to.
So many simple things we could work together on, but we always have to be reminded who is in control. At least I have seen enough to realize a leadership change won't mean anything. Got my hopes up and dashed after the last Director of FO change. Thought he would be able to open some eyes and make changes, but as you said SGU is so out of touch they have no idea how a couple simple things would make so much change. How long have we been talking reserve rewrite? Virtual domiciles?
Keep telling me how expensive flight crews are while I sit around for 4 hours in one of our bases. Or when I have another overnight in one of our domiciles. I'll keep bidding 38 hour overnights while you scramble to find a crew or find some idiot that is new enough to answer their phone and help out. Because maybe if I help them out, when I need a favor they will return it... Yeah, been there and done that.
Preaching to the choir,
Do whats best for your family and friends. Sorry to say if and when you leave, you will not be missed as an individual, pilot yes, person no. When you come to the realization that this is just a job and it is what it is, life becomes a bit easier. Phone just rang, let it go to VM, SS looking for a bail out from me, decided day drinking sounded like more fun than pushing one of their a$$ scented sewer tubes around the sky. PayBack.....
