It's just going to deteriorate to a workplace that more and more employees hate. Company is making record profits, but they are drunk on cutting cost.
They run too lean an operation. Then they do a knee-jerk purchase of an airline with a whole different business model and identity. We're talking about oil and vinegar.
The continued cost-cutting and the lack of leadership and vision is becoming more obvious to the other frontline employees.
This is going to take a toll to a point that our customer service is going to suffer. So, eventually our passengers will hate us too.
The inbreeding at Angle Lake prevents them from having a paradigm shift. Doesn't seem likely that we'll ever get a real CEO with vision and leadership. Our BOD would hate that.
Instead, we have a Boy Scout former CPA who is tone deaf. His lieutenants are tone deaf BM and uber tone deaf yes-man VP of Flight Ops TK.
I don't have much hope for things changing for the better.
