I've broken a few of them and paid the price, but I took responsibility for those actions. No ones fault but mine. If you are in that office, then you are being watched as you aren't doing the job you are hired to do.
CW wasn't always right, but who is. Too much finger pointing doesn't fix anything unless your doing in front of a mirror.
THIS right here is the perfect example of the major culture difference between Envoy and AA. I spent 22 years over there and can vouch for this sort of tick-tack disciplinary behavior by some Chiefs. It was much too common over there and was a reflection of how senior management viewed their employees. In stark contrast, in the 6-1/2 years I've been on the AA side, I've had nothing but very polite, very professional treatment from all the Chiefs I've dealt with. They have always treated us with dignity and respect here. Uniform policy enforcement? Trust me, the pilots here adhere to the policy to about the same extent as their Envoy brethren, yet I have NEVER heard of any chief giving a rat's a$$ about enforcing uniform policy. They have better things to worry about.
The fact that the poster above is so smug about this speaks volumes. I hope he or she stays on that side of the fence, and if not, then NEVER works his or way into a Chief pilot's position.
