Come on.....ok, while it isn't our fault, if you do not believe auto accept on thousands of slips isn't contributing, I don't know what to say. Yeah, yeah, I know.....its contractual.
Should the company have hired more last year? Absolutely. But, in the end, even when they screw up, the long term consequences are far worse for us and in this scenario, while it isn't ultimately our fault, the auto accepts are absolutely contributing. Everyone has blood on their hands in this one.
We are alienating our customers and destroying our performance to spite our managers, all while sticking to our auto accept guns.
I understand using this as leverage, but we have no transparency between ALPA and the company. Are they even talking? It's painfully obvious ALPA despises RG and HT. So now what?
We have to live with the long term results. Not our managers, who with a linkedin post and a resume, parachute into another exec gig at any other company for greater or equal comp. We get stuck with PO'd pax, deteriorating performance, and all the negatives associated with that for the remainder of our careers, not them.
