It's funny that the company hasn't sent out anything about Flightpath II. Our managers must know that most pilots view it as a total waste of time, so perhaps they just put it up on Flica and hoped most people would miss it. I'm hoping to procrastinate long enough for the company to run out of Q400 captains, which means I can go fly airplanes instead of hearing six hours of meaningless management-speak.
The secret to delay if not going all together is bid Pass in FLICA. I did that last time for QX factor. Never went. Of course it was common knowledge the company only expected 75-80 percent of the pilots would attend due to staffing.
Knowing how FLICA works. 1. Takes the people who bid to go. 2. eliminates those that bid Pass. 3. Then drafts those that don't bid.
