Our success relies on compliance with our agreements with the Codeshares, it's absolutely every front line empoyee's job at any Company to ensure the Company is successful, the paycheck is guaranteed - it will come unless the Company doesn't exist - which for all regionals is often just a decision away.
While there are parts of this post I agree with, I think the inherent problem is, as pilots we strive for perfection and are expected beyond any doubt to be good out our jobs. It is expected of others to be the same. We deal with this in everyday life as well, when someone isn't good at their job it's upsetting. It's accountability. No "bad day" or apology memos will make any mistake we make right. And to a lesser extent, same from management. It has gotten old, become a pattern and is disrespectful to the crews that carry the load and are not allowed to make any relative mistakes. But each and everytime there's a problem, we are told they are working on it, and it inevitably happens again or worse in the future. Whether it be bids, bids timelines, bid awards, vacancy process, vacancy awards, pay, pay timeline etc. When is enough enough? We allow then these snafus because of the attitude from the posts above and a lax stance from the Union leadership. And I have always applauded alpa, as you can see from any one if my posts, but now is the time- the beginning- to set the tone and stand up as one. I can only think a hard, no bull**** stance now will be beneficial for the future!
