Man when this place DOES come unravelled and even if we didn't do a thing wrong all the company will have to do is come on here for evidence. Yikes.
How about unity towards the same end and stop writing things like this on public message boards.
I acquiesce...
...towards the objective we say we all desire, you are right... there are many tactics, approaches, strategies, avenues, mechanisms, lanes we can navigate to achieve what we all say we deserve.
Someone here used social pressure to enhance/increase adherence of our membership's behavior towards our stated objective. Yes there are other methods.
Just as safety is an objective in our flights, we could use material from our own operations to try to steer the deviant activities back towards our objective
Assertiveness is ensuring your input is heard and understood rather than hinting or silently watching as perceived mistakes are about to be made. The ve steps to an assertive statement are:
1. Opening statement - “Bob, John, Captain, etc.”
2. State your concern - Take ownership, “I’m uncomfortable with...“
3. State the problem - The problem as you see it.
4. Offer a suggestion - Suggested solution to the problem.
5. Reach agreement - Crew Members, reaching a mutually agreeable solution, may take more than one assertive statement from one or more of the crew.
The rest of us are uncomfortable with you not following in your fellow pilots' stated and published objective, to receive an industry standard contract WHATEVER IT TAKES.
The problem as we see it is that you are not following the collective course of ceasing to relieve the company of the consequences of their ineptitudes in staffing and scheduling, and you are pursing INDIVIDUAL gain over that of our collective.
A solution might be to stop doing that.
Or perhaps other sources...like ...Rockefellers, Carnegies, Gates, Steve Jobs...from his commencement address to Stanford graduate...
“Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.
Or perhaps other sources...
This is not about feelings. This is not about etiquette. This is about winning....WHATEVER IT TAKES.
If I fly with you, I will say it to whomever personally. Until then, since P2P and Union messages don't seem to deter your off course actions, here is where it plays out.
