But, what is hostile about our work environment? I will concede that it was fairly hostile earlier this year with the forced open time and cancelled flights, but what's happening to you now? If you are on reserve you have to talk to the schedulers and that's it. Are they being mean to you? Scheduling you into your days off? Calling you home at all times of night? What?

If you are a blockholder, you never have to even talk to anyone let alone anyone from management. All you have to do is go to work and go home. Are the agents not getting you your paperwork soon enough? Are the fuelers and flight attendants cursing you? Are the wingwalkers flipping you off? Is the check-in phone too cold when you pick it up? You really don't have to talk to anyone from the time you show to the time you go home (except ATC controllers, ramp, tug drivers, ect.).

Ok, I'm done messing with you. But, don't you think hostile is too strong of a word? Extremely hostile? Tell us what's wrong.
