and I’m not saying this is a **** company and no one should come here. I understand what my job is and weighed the benefits and costs when I came here. I fully understood that before signing up and happy to be here doing what I do. But I’m not gonna pretend it’s the greatest place to be or the best airline to work for. Time and opportunity.
Column A: cost efficiencies achieved through increasing pay and training to ground and underwing staff, revamping dispatch, ops, and network planning, and making significant investments into overhauling IT and passenger interface, overhauling training footprints, etc.
Column B: Money saved by not doing above - Money spent on consequences of not doing above.
Accountants: which pile of money is larger? Solution: do that.
me: follows the contract, does what I am paid to do, worries about the things I can control, let’s others worry about the things I cannot, carries on living the rest of my life.
