Baja,

They didn't put out such a video. The "greedy bastages" comment came from a former pilot scheduler, who is now in FA scheduling. She should have known better than to post anti-pilot stuff on Facebook and Instagram. Screenshots of her ignorant tirades got passed around the pilot group.

Regardless, management has created and fostered the anti-pilot environment. For years, when you'd get on the company website, there was never a word about pilots. No articles written about pilots or anything else even mentioning this one particular work group. It was very noticeable. "These planes pretty much just fly themselves."

More than ever, it is crystal clear that this management hates the pilot group. This is not just vitriol on my part. I've been in it long enough to observe this. They have done a good job of diminishing and undermining this group of employees. We have allowed it to happen though.

This type of tactic works short-term. But, long-term, it will have a negative effect on the whole airline. But then again, this management group only sees what's right in front of them. Just look at all the "money saving" decisions they make, which ends up costing them more in the long run. A good example of this is the door mods on the freighters. The -400 freighter always had problems. Now, I've been told that the -700 freighter that came from Tel Aviv (very late by the way), has problems. It's also apparently 5000 pounds heavier than it was supposed to be.

Sorry for the diatribe and going off on a tangent.
