Your constant criticisms make great sound bites but you are starting to sound like the very C&R members you love to criticize that constantly mouth off but do nothing to make things better.
I am no big fan of APA but when it comes to trying to make things better, I volunteer. You should, too. We could definitely use your expertise.
A ton of work went in to improving this disaster of a j/s system the company just flatly implemented while ignoring the desires of the committee, and I am pleased with the progress. At the very least it's a couple of steps in the right direction.
What is the point of volunteering if we as AA pilots cannot get past APA's inner circle?
I *hate* hearing this bs "we never had the j/s protection at AA". We (LAA + LUS including LAWA) could have benefited from this, would it not have been because of TW*. His point of view forced upon his group shows what's wrong with APA. It reminds me of George Orwell's 1984 political party.
Unfortunately, I don't have the patience for this attitude. Those people at APA are just like the political elite in DC. The best decision I have made was to stay off C&R and to occasionally visit this site and contribute. I do welcome your efforts, work and inputs, but I'd also remind people why we have issues here at AA. It's not only management that's to blame.
Just another example of APA's
never had it here, so it can't be good attitude is the last leg trip swap of a sequence. Didn't cost the company anything, APA didn't see the point so it got axed. Great!
(Note: TW is
not a commuter. He lives in DFW. If he needs to go somewhere he gets A1 passes (for life). Remember this.
