Read what he wrote, specifically the “control what you can control” part and you’ll be much happier in this career, whatever airline you end up at.
It’s tiresome because you expect the dog to meow or water to not be wet. Spirit is Spirit. I’ve been here a longer than you and I get the tiresome point, I really do. But I also know my input and ideas on operational efficiency means nothing to anyone who can enact change. So they don’t care, and in turn, I don’t care either. I show up, so the job, don’t get violated, cash the checks and enjoy family time. The miserable guys are the ones who start every sentence with “if those morons only…”
Know your lane, stay in it, control what you can control, remember “it is what it is,” and realize the grass is never greener on the other side. Best advice I have after 20 years in the industry.
100% they do assess column A vs column B but they are miscalculating.
I stay in my line just fine and it is what it is. That doesn’t make it less tiresome. And no, not every airline operates with this level of incompetence except maybe frontier. A lot of things at most of the big three and big two cargo just work. Hiccups yes but mostly just work. Here, it’s fubar day in and day out.
