Arbitrator's decision delayed until Monday.....no big surprise there. Nothing we can do about it.
It makes me sad that management continues to go down the path of self destruction. They choose to be blinded by ego, arrogance, greed, and narcissism. What's more unfathomable is the fact that EVERY airline management out there is avidly preparing for competition by building their army through positive reinforcement, motivation, and fair & equitable treatment of their labor groups. Meanwhile, puzzle palace is using the same archaic bully and scare tactics which have been proven to be ineffective and more importantly, known to cause irreparable damage to labor relations. Someone mentioned the words "toxic culture". That about sums it up. If they continue down this destructive path, I fear that Alaska Airlines will be no longer in the next few years or sooner. It reminds of a scene in a movie where the guards are whipping the slaves into submission and eventually there is a massive uprise...we all know how it ends. Sadly, it appears that Kasher and Horizon debacle didn't teach puzzle palace a single lesson. With SWA coming at us in full force and the big three fully armored, cocked, and ready to annihilate, it's just a matter of time until this dwindled operation caves and gets decimated. What's even more frustrating is that management will sail off into the sunset with their millions and we'll be left hanging at the mercy of our competition. Wall Street is right - puzzle palace has lost their mojo and they are in too deep. You can't go from managing a mom & pop mini mart to a neighborhood grocery store without vision, innovation, leadership & management skills, and balls!
