Great policy and truly one I strive for, however when that “heads down, blinders on, 5th & 20th” policy is T-boned by fellow employees with a certain social agenda who are backed up by their managers on that agenda, and a company that doesn’t hold them accountable in the least bit for making false accusations, then it gets a little concerning to go to work and employ your recommended tactics.
Case in point: SWA present day. I spent a week vacation with of one our domicile reps about a year ago. We didn’t talk much shop as it was mixed company, but the stories he told me made it clear that there is a very distinct and focused assault on pilots by a small group of fellow frontline employees and a disdain for us by a much larger percentage of HQ employees.
