Gotta be willing to be educated and listen. I ran into some guy last week sporting a Flight Ops lanyard. When I offered him a red/black SWAPA lanyard, he was all.... "Ohh, uhhh... I already have one." And you guys and gals have a vote....
I’m a probie, and I didn’t drink even a drop. Granted, 7 companies in 22 years can have that affect, but there were quite a few in my new hire that were on 2nd or 3rd airline and weren’t drinking it either. Now, the fresh mil and corp types were a little thirsty, but I’ve already seen some come around. I’m inside of my last 20 years of this and I starting to think the younger generation’s entitlement and lack of the last 20 years of F’d up airlines and unions is good, cause a lot of them think we deserve much more than we are getting.
Let's hope so, but given what I've seen so far, I'm not holding my breath.
