I did not like what was happening at DAL when I was at ASA, and I do not like it on this side of the fence either. It is my goal to change this career and industry vector. We are driving ourselves in to the ground.
One way or another there is going to be a reckoning in this industry. Either to lower lows, or we will change it. If it keeps going this pace, many will just jump ship.
That doesn't alter the fact that you used ASA to gain the qualifications to "jump" to a "career airline"....You did what was best for YOU as are ALL of us....
You are right that we did this to ourselves....I don't see any change of attitude from your side however....You still think that you own my job...That attitude will simply perpetuate this "us" vs. "them" attitude that is used by managment to get us to "bid" against one another....
Until I see a real change of attitude for BOTH ALPA and DALPA, I will do what is best for ME....regardless of how it affects YOU...
Go ahead an "jump ship" if you don't like things...I and others wish things could be better, but we are very happy with the decisions we have made. We will do what is best for us given the mistakes that were made by others.....
