I vaguely remember Flightpath I. It basically consists of a bunch of mid-level managers talking about fleet plans, financial metrics (i.e., we need to get our costs down), fuel hedging, possible new markets, etc. That's just the semi-interesting stuff. I may have dozed off during part of the meeting. I was annoyed when the "hall monitor" busted me for looking up something on my iPad.

Why is Flightpath? The usual answer: To lower employee expectations. Another possible answer: To demonstrate "employee engagement". Yes, our mid-level managers actually get graded on that stuff.

The whole thing is a colossal waste of time. The original Flightpath supposedly cost over $1000 per person. Can't we just take the money?
