I don't like what the WP is doing. I really don't know and don't care what race, sex or prior military service they are!
We've known for years that Management almost always operates on a "Ready ... Fire ... Aim" policy. If they were able to document that these folks were doing anything "illegal" or even unethical (it should be easy to document!), those people would get fired.
Here's my (semi-educated) guess as to how the "system" works.
- I have flown with pilots that admit to paying schedulers for every "overtime" trip that they get assigned.
- I have good friends that admit to meeting schedulers at local MEM "Watering Holes" for Happy Hour. There's probably nothing illegal about buying a friend a round of drinks?
I suppose it's possible that my "friends" are just big talkers (braggers?). It's not "illegal" to do any of these underhanded, back door, under-the-table, low life, back stabbing personal deals.
It is ... UNETHICAL, and it should be stopped.
