Fine, they aren’t serious... our enthusiasm gap is widening every day. We can barely staff the airline as it is, and ‘summer is coming.’

Should be interesting.

I’m with cheddar here. Every time I show for work these days my enthusiasm meter reads zero. Crew stuff and passenger related items I’m up for but leaning forward operationally isn’t happening.

This is like showing up to discuss an issue with a Base Chief Pilot and they send the janitor out to talk to you. I'd feel disrespected. You probably should too.

I don’t know what it takes to get the upper hand on Glass, and I’d be willing to bet a pilot group won’t either.

Well the current infighting and poo slinging on C&R certainly won't help. Neither will drama from certain domiciles...or people not following simple union directives or refusing to get engaged on anything.

Glass isn’t anything special.

The fact that the RLA is so favorable to mgmt just makes Glass look a lot more talented than he is.

That’s a good point, but he knows that and exploits it.

Especially if the janitor had a dripping toilet plunger....

Come back to ALPA... we'll get you a DAL/UAL quality contract... you'll like it, your $pou$e will LOVE it... and you can get that swagger in your step back... (if you ever had it)....

How do you get an industry leading contract when the RLA favors management? hmmmm
