JB's ATM is over.
We put an HR chick at the head of running a Fortune 500 company. Hmmmm.....I wonder why we would do that......is it because she has experience running an airline, or do her talents/background lend themselves towards a different outcome.....
Yes... every aspect of your job will be a lawyeristic trap enforced by the HR gestapo.
- Watch your back.
- Say as little as possible to anyone.
- If a non-pilot employee decides to escalate anything with you (e.g. not cleaning), keep walking and say nothing.
- Never be behind closed doors with members of the opposite sex (or the same sex, or whatever they think they are).
- If you get called in, always walk in with a lawyer (not just a trained ALPA rep).
- If you get called, reschedule to have a teleconference with a lawyer involved.
- Resist any contract that excludes language limiting HR's role in pilot affairs (yes, this is possible in a contract despite what they naysayers say). A team of ALPA pilots/lawyers should be the investigative team BUT the only authority should be the civil court process. Otherwise you must be protected until the law proves otherwise. Too many false accusations or exaggerations going around at BJ.
Her role will be to use all contractual language and company policy to keep you pacified, subservient, and in line with whatever they want.
