We can't live like this! We are destoying our own futures!
Its destroying flying for the future by just sitting there and letting management run their companies into shallow water while searching for a profit.
Its time to take control-They must know how much power we have!
If your captain or F/O doesnt want to change , when its your leg to fly you fly it how you want to fly it. Block to Block no less! Your getting paid for it anyway why shorten it. You are just sitting there anyway! We must unite and get this done.
We are professional pilots. The economics do matter. Try taking that attitude to a corporate job.
Start the APU in accordance to SOP. Repeated violation of SOP only serves to undermine you.
You should always report Mx items when they occur. This shouldn't be revolutionary.
Fly slow, but do not intentionally make it more difficult for your passengers to make their connections. People do need to come back in order for you to keep your job.
Walk slow... no. Walk at a normal pace. When you walk slow in public areas, the public notices. This only reinforces the general notion that pilots are lazy. Just keep pace with the flow of pedestrian traffic, and don't call attention to yourself in the public eye.
