I agree with you guys, but I also think in today's age freedom of speech really doesn't hold any weight. Society gets all butt hurt if someone says a word that people associate with something bad. It's like school kids behaving if they get cooties...

With that being said, the chief pilots office at any airline, should be regarded as the most professional, most knowledgeable, and best decision makers at the airline. Lead by example as they say...I think there was poor judgement used here in an attempt to be funny (know your audience, as I've flown with some pilots here that do Uber on the side) Company emails are just that, stuff to do with the company, and making any reference to rape as humor in any contest shows poor judgement with the way society is today. I'm glad he showed demeanor in issuing an apology...we all make mistakes, we are human after all.

I've enjoyed AO's updates, they've made me laugh, but I'm guessing they'll start sticking to the facts and the rah rah go team, from now on...

 

Wait wait wait, you LEFT because of him? Are you saying you resigned because of our CP? I know he was calling you out indirectly on company E-mails and hinting he knew where you lived but then again you were blasting him on this forum in front of everyone. I sure hope I misunderstood you when you said you left because of him - I am assuming you didn't make use of our union for any issues and decided to leave anyway?

I didn't take offense to the rape line at all. With that being said, I cringe every time that guy sends those daily e-mails. He thinks he's funny but he tries too hard and is not funny at all, not one bit. He's a nice guy, never had a major issue with him professionally, but he's just trying way too hard to be liked and he's trying way too hard to be funny - it's never worked, at least for me, but, I give him props for trying.

If it is a company E-mail, I will read it because it's part of my job - I don't need anyone making fun of anything to keep me entertainment while I scroll through the AOS notices and MELs.

I would personally prefer communications from the CP office remain professional and official. The Skypest e-mails, in my opinion were so childish and immature and completely unprofessional. Made us look really really bad. But hey, if nobody from the top cares they're doing it....I guess neither should we.

 

Many people tend to lose touch that our time here is temporary. This is a short term job. No reason to get wrapped around the axle about small stuff. 90% of us will be out in 3 years or less. Personally, my goal is to have fun and keep my head down and get out asap. No reason to get caught up in high school drama.

 

This right here ^^^^

 

This place is nothing but high school drama. Relationships blah blah....i'm offended blah blah blah.....he/she said this blah blah blah. Our job is so damn easy and this kind of stuff is a waste of energy.

All that being said, I love working here. Its a night and day difference than my last airline and enjoy my layovers with the crews. Honestly.....I'll miss this stuff once I move on, minus the drama.

 

It's simple, if I made those kinds of jokes in front of customers I'd be gone. Set an example.

 

If it really offends folks then hopefully they filed a complaint with HR instead of just posting on here to play the victim.

 

Unprofessional? GMAFB, my preacher tells dirtier jokes.

This 1000%

I say If one can't handle a little humor without being offended then go hide in your "safe space" and give up this career. Good luck in a mainline cockpit with the "professional" campaign. One can be a professional and a leader and still have an off-color side. It's called levity, and it should have a place in what we do.

 

I suppose we'll be getting crayons and coloring books in the crewroom any day now.
