They created the angry 3100. All the company had to do was ignore the orange lanyards ( not many were wearing them) for a month or two and they’d likely have gone away and the two pilot groups possibly would have continued to find things to fight about. Instead they made the only wrong move the could. They gave us something to rally around against management. And they keep doing it. Lanyards, slope, uniforms, HIMS, the contract in general. Good relationships are a two way street and this management has never wanted a relationship.
Good observation. Sadly puzzle palace will never change-not in a billion years. New boss same as the old boss. The only hope is a unified pilot group, a strong economy, and supply & demand.
Alaska's upper management reminds me of those who were bullied growing up. Some were somewhat good in school but not high caliber enough for top tier schools. They grew up with built up anger and grudge, and used to tell themselves "I'll show them someday". Many of them have the Napoleon complex mixed with a deep rooted inferiority complex. They are typically yesmen and will do anything to climb the ladder, even if it means screwing their buddy and selling their soul. These people are narcissistic and overly self centered. Arrogant people refuse to lsiten and therefore, puzzle palace will never change.
