There was a time when just about everyone was on board with saving money, to the point you'd have to change your uniform between flights, and passengers were being hauled away from the aircraft in ambulances.
They still haven't shut the ac off over in the G.O., as I suggested three years ago (why should they get air conditioning...they don't even do anything that produces revenue?), and they still can't even turn the lights off when they go home at the end of the day. Meanwhile, we've taken two pay cuts, seen a significant decrease in the quality of schedules and layover accomodations, and not yet recovered to pre-bankruptcy fleet size levels.
After the sham bankruptcy I'm as concerned about Delta/Comair's financial well being as they are about mine.
Comments from management such as "You adjust your lifestyle to what we're willing to pay you." have destroyed the tremendous asset this pilot group used to be.
I couldn't agree more!
Don't even get me started on this whole APU, PPAS, etc. stuff. I don't know what is is lately and the CAs I have been flying with, but the last few insisted on no APU (turned it on anyway) and flying PPAS by the inch. Also, I am not sure if it was just a string a CAs I had, but what's with not turning on the logo and wing inspection light at night? Are they trying to save money on the light bulbs or something?
