Withholding of enthusiasm is not a job action. Neither is taking time off if one is unfit to fly. It is hard to run an operation when you crap all over your frontline employees. But what did they expect? Leadership starts at the top and they've removed every incentive to perform. Hopefully the creditors will tube the current mgmt when they see the wheels come off.

Of course not. Just wandering how the lack of "enthusiasm" is affecting things. That Horton is a piece of work, unbelievable that he ucc is allowing him to run that place.

The term sheet is being implemented as we speak.

And as always, the way to go is follow the FAR's to the letter, as well as company rules... like giving T-storms 20 nm space, thorough pre-flights, conscientious write-ups, economical taxi and flight speeds, meticulous check list procedures, no-fault go-arounds, etc etc etc.

Of course, fatigue is a hot-button topic w/NASA and the FAA. Got to wathc those mental health issues too. And it's a good time to finally get that carpal tunnel surgery.

Which parts of the term sheet are the management putting into effect? Are they using your very first term sheet, or the offer that was voted down most recently?

Remember to always run the IMSAFE checklist. Are you prepared mentally? Feeling stressed due to BK? Emotionally unstable?

IMSAFE...........

About 80% of the initial term sheet and 20% of the "LBFO."

Pretty ugly, but we who voted No expected the full term sheet. It's gonna be ugly for a short while but I fully expect we will eventually end up with an ILC.

They are about to implement "overfly shall be cancelled by underfly" policy. Gee, wonder how pilots will get around that? My understanding is that NWA tried that and their pilots started "BOB" (Block Or Better) and management stopped it shortly thereafter.
