The bipolar messages about our new hires keep on coming form the union "strategists".
The left side saying "please don't take it as an insult, we are not saying you're dangerous, we are brothers, we take your money too, we love you new brothers and sisters", while the right side keeps pointing fingers, publicly, at their lack of experience and low-time, telling customers of the brand that "new hire experience has decreased an average of 77% across a five-year period" (same numbers at the 121s - 50% of the uplift done by the majors is done with low-time, lower-time pilots on the flightdeck btw) implying "danger".

On my 3rd day at work this morning at TEB, met 2 very upset ones, they lost all respect for the union. Feeling used like pawns by the union strategists and angry at the message board narrative, insulted to be portrayed at as unsafe, tools for the bitter old senior ones. However PL tries to smoothen the pill, they are all able to read the MB and have no doubt about the attitude and opinion of the mb nazis. Had to explain to them that the majority of the pilots ignore the mb it and just come to work to do their job, nothing more, nothing less, just the job they've been employed to do.

The best tool the EMT has for dissension and division among the group is definitely the MB.

"Get some
Pull up the ladder when the flood comes
Throw enough rope until the legs have swung
Seven new ways that you can eat your young
Come and get some
Skinnin' the children for a war drum
Puttin' food on the table sellin' bombs and guns
It's quicker and easier to eat your young"

FUD MUD FUD DUD. Definitely DUD.
