Seems like out and out sabotage to me. Why not just take a hammer to the EFIS? That would cost the company a lot of money too. I think everyone has a right to organize and negotiate their pay, but some of these suggestions seem kind of sleazy.
Honestly, if any of you had a kid out there that worked at McDonalds, would you encourage them to take money out of the register while no one was looking to make up for the sub-standard fast food wages? Anyone? Seems like the same thing to me.
End of rant.
Here's the deal...if you want to stay w/ the mcD's analogy, it would be as if mgmt. told your kid to serve every customer w/I 5mins of them being in line. to do so, perhaps they don't have time to do the mandatory cleaning the food inspector tells them to, so they rush through it to make sure the 5 min. rule is observed. Even though they may hit the goal by sacrificing safety, it is not the right thing to do. Same thing with being an airline pilot...true, we should all be flying safely all the time. Fact is, many take short cuts and some do so in order to not have to explain in a phone call or office as to why. The difference between McD's and an airline is that this is a career for most evey pilot here...not following safety can kill that career. The point is, this is a legal AND ethical task that will cause mgmt. to see that perhaps some things need to change
