It was management's wet dream...FREE peer pressure to take shortcuts and thus improve operational reliability. In a lot of cases, it worked. It also created a toxic work environment that will linger in that company for many years...new contract or not.
..and it doesn't matter if it was sent only to the pilots...do you really think that this stuff doesn't get passed around? ...or worse yet, spread by word of mouth?
I don't know what you do with your free time but I sure don't spend mine passing around company emails to people in other departments. I agree with Disco...couldn't care less what the dispatcher or whoever else thinks of the pilot group.
