Does that answer that? FWIW...I got stir crazy on vacation and picked up a one day O&B my first day off. Day of trip had 3/5 in the house sick with some sort of stomach virus and called in sick. Sick close to vacation is a flag, and although he was VERY decent about it I did get a call from LK and an email from my ACP...
So in short...I have no desire to ever call anyone who is on sick leave. I have no desire to sit in an office if I can avoid it. I'm happiest working the farm with my girls, flying my GA plane (geez...that's getting dangerous), or enjoying some of the water sports NW Florida offers. And I also hope after my block 7 term is up I can go piddle around back on the line unmolested.
I try to shoot straight with you guys. One of the campaign points I made was my business experience. I'm trying to say that I "get" some of what the company is facing. There are hundreds of other things they do that irk me (accepted fares, etc) and we'll work on them...but geez if I say anything positive about the company it seems you brand me as turncoat. I don't think that is really the case here...
Saying something "positive about the company" is different than defending the optimizer gains for the company. When you do that, your going to get some well thought out responses. And, some cheap shots from the less verbose of us. I know now I should have asked if you wanted PC's job instead of LK's.
Everybody here gets what the company is facing: Drive down cost. And we'll help (fuel sense).We just don't want it taken out of our quality of life or paychecks since we didn't see any bonuses during years and years of record profits.
