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.
While I lean to being frustrated in the people who are slowing things down just to slow things down, this wasn't a problem 8 months ago. And frankly, it's more frustrating getting passed over for legit WS and GS for trips that get sent immediately to IA. There are guys getting a hundred hours a month to sit at home and me, trying to sharpshoot OT to recover credit from dropping trips earlier in the month, is panicking to get above 60. So I have to ask, what has changed? Has there been a 6 fold increase in people auto-accepting? Or is the company running super lean and leaving scheduling desks unstaffed?
