But running a company and keeping it in business is above all of our paygrades. Especially in light of recent circumstances, now might be a great time for pilots to shut the hell up for a while and stop pretending they know more about business, marketing, route planning, ticket pricing, etc than the people who are paid to make those decisions.
NOT saying stop advocating for our collective interests. I'm just sick of the backseat driving.
Amen brother.....I will never stop fighting for current contract compliance and will always advocate for improvements in the next contract. I don’t now nor have I ever cared for the Anglers. I don't share their views and their values. I don’t like Seattle. But I do have respect for the skippers that have steered this ship for the last 22 years. I don’t for a moment believe that I have the knowledge or education or experience to be the skipper. In general, pilots make incredibly poor managers of companies....For the crowd that knows it all...Start with the effin contract and when you are done reading and understanding that read
and understand the effin FOM....Thank you
