Ploy or plot? Why not both?

This pilot group loses all the time. We are losers. We bring it upon ourselves.

Anyway, like you said, the ship sailed a long time ago. I know this management team to be a bunch of back-stabbing liars. I bet they would love to run a real sweatshop. They are snakes and cannot be trusted one bit.

At least most of us know what type of people we are dealing with. They have created a toxic environment and have undermined us... and we have allowed them to do so.

I hope they are ready to pay the price for their practices. Aside from the good company boys and girls, the rest of us are fed up and tired. We don't give a damn about the company or the brand. Hell, the brand has no identity right now... they may as well put a picture of a chicken with its head cut off on the tails of our airplanes.

No leadership and no long-term vision or solutions. They are constantly trying to put out fires that they have created. They seem to think short-term: Let's get through the summer, let's get through Thanksgiving, let's get through Xmas & New Years, etc.

We have big operational problems and they waste their time worrying about lanyards. We have a pretty meh product. We have old ratty terminals and old ratty jetways.

I think we have reached our peak as a company and are on a downward slide. It doesn't have to be this way. But, the execs and BOD are drunk on record profit margins and wanting to look good to shareholders and Wall Street. They keep wanting to cut cost and diminish the product, all the while trampling further on employee morale.

I suppose they'll just punch their tickets home if this thing actually tanks. They really don't have much to lose. They keep making their bonuses. If the company fails, they still get to retire and cash in further. If the execs don't retire after they run this place into the ground, then they will easily slide into another exec position at another company.
