I am not suggesting someone rant angrily. I AM suggesting a simple statement of facts. You would like to trade. You followed all the rules. No trades are ever available and you have been told this is due to "No Coverage" but clearly there is coverage.


Stick to the facts and let folks know you have a problem. In any corporation the facts are your friend.

If our managers never hear from line pilots and only hear complaints coming from ALPA reps then how can they gauge what the real issues are on the line. Again, I want to emphasize ALWAYS be respectful and professional and simply stick to the facts but you should never be afraid to speak the truth whether at work or at home. Of course that doesn't mean you should tell your wife she looks fat . . . that's just stupid
