Industry leading in fume events? Based on what data is this derived from?
“Get your ass in gear and do your job”. Well that’s exactly my point. You’re the one running down to the ramp to do the rampers job to have them hook air and power up.
I’m glad you’re a go getter but I can tell you this, until true change is wanted from the top, it won’t change. Spirit could have a ramp supervisor walk up and down the line to ensure ground air is up and power is avail on every arrival, they don’t. Instead to tell the pilots to email them with issues and count on guys to run down to tell a supervisor when we are supposed to turn the APU on. Do you think it’s even a little concerning that a supervisor doesn’t even know that we don’t turn the APU on until 10 prior. If the company wanted to truly effect change, guys on the ground would know that information, they would be trained.
You are labor. The company doesn’t view you as a partner in this airline. This was made plain and clear in contract negotiations when profit sharing was shot down early. You are labor. I’m fine with that, I’ll preform as labor and not as a partner. And while you’re running down to ask for air, the company is creating another false dispute against trip rigs that we have to fight to keep in front of an arbitrator.
We're going to need a new MEC in the next go around. We could use you.
