In fact if we as employees actually acted like we gave a crap we might not be in the sad state we are. I've never worked somewhere where people are so negative and lazy.
I digress with the above statement. There are plenty of folk who give a crap here and what did they get in exchange for it? A company on a cost cutting binge firing probie pilots/fa's over the slightest infraction. A company that targets full timers as well as senior pilots/fa's to try and do/did terminate them over the slightest infraction. In other departments in this company I have seen them personally target full timers and go so far as to make up stuff on them to show them the door.
Comair was a great airline that was the envy of the regional world, but now, it's a shell of its' former self. So what you are witnessing is the end result of a company that decided to at mother Delta's urging to devour thier young. Folks in management know it's wrong, but if it comes to you or thier family to feed guess who loses?
