get ready folks. It’s coming. I guarantee he is about to unload even more.
it’s a tactic pure and simple. Keep that in mind when he pours out even more doom and gloom.
he is simply trying to negotiate a lower contract!!!
the economy…sorry Barry the DL CEO called you out on that and even trolled you about your lazy work from home employees.
Bookings? Of course our loads are light, as soon as summer is over they have ALWAYS dropped. The holidays historically have never been our best time either. Summer and spring break are our biggest time.
Putting applicants in a pool. Right!!! The current system bid is for 56 new hires, what did they put 4? Just so they could put out that email, knowing full well it would spread like wild fire.
the ULCC has not even come close to its max potential in the US. If we are loosing booking beyond normal right now it’s 100% Barry biffles fault.
so when they come spread more doom and gloom get ready, because within a month maybe two afterwards they will present an offer to alpa. It will be a little better than what we have now, but it will be a terrible offer. Don’t fall for the fear.
I always just imagine how well we would be doing and absolutely THRIVING if we had competent management and weren't losing pilots.... Just like Southwest, textbook how to treat your employees and customers to grow a company.
We do the opposite. I will not be giving ANYTHING up because of "The economy" when other airlines are doing just fine with their contracts. Its the price to play, thats how business works.
