Your assessment that morale is low may be partially accurate, but I have also been around for a while. We are much improved from the many states the company has existed in. It's not perfect and there is no known long term defined future, but there never will be one. Feel free to continue to show up after midnight and post all the negatives that you see, but don't be offended when you don't get a concensus agreement. No one knows what lies ahead for this company, but we can hope for the best for all employees. If the present reality isn't enough, I don't know what to tell you. Make the best of it and look for better or put a smile on. We all make what we can out of life and there's only one person with total control over each individual. Hint, it isn't RG or even EB. It's you.
I have been here 20 years from Express I, Mesaba, Pinnacle, and now Endeavor... 30 years in aviation and 6 years military with 2 combat deployments along the way.. Sorry I am not all puppies and rainbows... I come in every day and bust my butt for the passengers and yes the flight crews that get on our aircraft... I do now and will always take pride in my work and craft... I have never ever put anyone on an unsafe aircraft to make a number... The company doesn't care.. they just want numbers and that's it.. they will fire your *** in a minute.. feel bad for 2 seconds and say what's next.. we (tech ops) have taken 2 paycuts for 15% and countless work rule changes... The Tech Ops crew I work with is the closest thing I have to family.. They are my family.. Something upper management will never understand... The work ethic we bring comes from each other, our hearts, and the passion for our craft... so excuse me for being a bit jaded at this point.... we come in every day and push molasses up a sandy hill with a stick and the next morning get questioned why we couldn't do it without causing a delay... I try to come on here and provide info and tech ops view from time to time... if you don't like what I say I offer no condolences.. good day.
