MikeBB addressing how out of touch management is with our operation….100%. It is palatable all the way down the food chain. You would thing our leadership brief in CQT might have been served with some humility after the melt down….nope.
Timed out for the second in a month yesterday, days are long hard and early starts. I don’t know how I’m going to do these schedules for 25 more years. I won’t even entertain PMs bc of my friends stories.
I lurk often but never post. It is as bad as you can imagine. I felt compelled to sign into the account to share. I’m a senior FO.
im coming from a regional that gave me 11 days off as a LINEHOLDER. So much complaining on this board like SW doesn’t pay well even BEFORE the new contract. Yes it can and should improve with the new contract , but let’s not act like the sky is falling. More chaos = more $. It just might require one to put that internet surfing sesh on the iPad on hold at midnight and get some sleep.
with that said I will be bidding AM reserve to avoid doing a post flight walk around after 14 hrs at 4 am.
