It's not Doom and Gloom...its just reality. People talk about how bad the schedules are getting, how bad the hotels are getting...
Thing is, they have been this way all along. The only way to get a better quality of life is to find another airline to work for. The union, chief pilots all have good intentions but our management doesn't care. They are happy making decent money in Ohio and wouldn't do a damm thing to change it. If PSA gets more airplanes or better routes or better schedules it will be because it was handed to our management. They work their 9-5 m-f and that is all. No extra effort. Our scheduling dept is reactive, our contract allows the inefficiencies to go on, our dispatch is totally clueless. (OK not all but some...K.H.?) Until Doug Parker and his management group take some responsibility for the PSA management we are stuck in a rut.
