Here, we have no problem with working extra days, voluntarily extending, or picking up disputed pairings. Those that do are the loudest voices in the room and the first to deflect all blame onto The Pancake Man. These are the smartest people with the highest understanding of what leverage is and isn’t. Some of us came to this conclusion early and some are getting around to it.
Much of the general vibe and mistrust falls on PM and his squad of company kool-aide drinkers. Entitled millionaires who thought they were owed something because of the time in which they were hired and the time in which they have left. Nothing more.
MSL culture and brotherhood seized to exist when the the words “I know you’re worried about your job security, but we have a fiduciary obligation to make these retiring pilots whole. Anything less is unconscionable” came out of his mouth.
Yet, the SM still live and breath by his words in their crybaby group-think. Still angered by the TA rejection and continually making excuse after excuse for the company and proclaiming that the no-voters are being “unreasonable” in their demands for fair and equal pay and QOL.
Yes, it’s that bad. The culture is rotten. And you know exactly who allowed it.
