I got a call from a PHL chief and a PEH entry for both. First time it was from TA and the second time it was from DJ. I will say that both PEH entries noted my good faith efforts to get to work and did not have a disciplinary tone. I filled out an APA observers report and got an email reply saying that nothing could be done.

I don’t know who is saying this to new hires but they should not be in a management position. I’m guessing he is a widebody local guy who has never sat shortcall or long call reserve. Doesn’t really matter what his background is any way. He is a jerk and we work for him. The nonsense coming out of senior managements mouths about making this a great place to work is clearly not heartfelt or trickling down to lower managers. DO NOT TRUST ANYONE in management. They will skewer you in a heartbeat. They are not going through what you are and will never understand the problems you have.

Save as much money as you can. I’ve found that as my nest egg has accumulated my giving a crap about my commute has decreased. I missed one commute so far. I was an A1 and the flight cancelled. They still gave me a hard time. This place will never change.
