If talk is cheap & our time is valuable, why are freely giving it up to listen to a corporate sales job?
Handing out biz cards, making rambling PA’s in the first class cabin or at the gate, or various other PPD nonsense as well as attendance at these CPO propaganda meetings has ZERO impact on status quo wrt negotiations. The only thing analyzed in that context are things that could financially harm the company. All this “fluff” is a barometer the company uses to gauge our level of buy in to Kirby’s crap. Doing these things sends a clear message, as does NOT doing them.
