You can't fix stupid. This is what all the 9E guys face every day. I go to work, do my job legally and to the best of my ability, and leave. In time mgmt will come to the conclusion that they are not going to be profitable until they treat the pilots right. I am rarely on time and when a CA tries to help the company I speak up. No cargo slip, need a new release- not dropping th damn brake. Say what you want but I stay legal per the company manuals and do not allow others to make up rules and regulations as they go. We are not allowed to block out without the correct and legal release and we are not allowed to open the galley service door to get a cargo slip just to get the main door closed and a "on time" departure on the record. We use ACARS as the source of communication- the company does not supply us with a cellphone and I am not going to use mine to take care of their issues.

I am an FO at PNCL- name is not hard to figure out. Anyone who has flown with me will tell you I will speak up if we are doing something incorrectly per the books. I am RARELY on time, if everyone else performs the job as directed BY THE COMPANY we will find ourselves with a contract soon.


I'm off to the saucer.
