Now that we have ALL transitioned into BP5 as well as switched over to other side admin wise, just about every one of us has faced the brick wall with regards to the impenetrable bureaucracy, bizarre and punitive paychecks, ridiculous Jepp revisions, visiting the computer software museum with backwards IT, manuals for 3rd graders, stepping back in time with regards to ACARS, a JS system designed by someone who obviously never commuted, home mailboxes chock full of continuing UHC surprises (long term prescriptions, anyone?) and the simplest of tasks made complicated by byzantine procedures (log landings, anyone?).

Then we finally stand up and say "W T F?" and not only do the fDAL guys stand around uninterested in listening to any suggestions for improvement, but start complaing that all we do is squawk about how backwards they are and how lucky we all are for simply stepping foot on hallowed ground..

Well, as the great Steve Martin would say: EXCUSE ME!

That, along with a DALPA that is seemingly complicit in facilitating the company line, yea, I can kinda see where some guys are getting a bit testy.
