given the survey breakdown of opinions...law of averages is ANY rant in that subject area is likely to **** off about half of the people within earshot.

I don't think even apple could **** off half their paying customers and survive.

may not have engaged in gatehouse social media video studio...but sure would have pointed it out once onboard.

Not exactly. But this forum is about calling out management shills. It might be why you find yourself routinely criticized here.

Bwahahahahaha!

When someone is being that special, very few people will chime in trying to get them to stop. Most will put their feet up on their bag, bust out a reflective sun tanning device and hold out a large mug to catch those delicious tears in.

Or having a fit. But regardless, it will be interesting to see what happens when the first customer sends the CEO an email with the video attached of something like this.

Which is a situation where the 4th stripe has no authority what so ever. While we might like to think pilots are respected and Captains in particular, the ROE are that we lose any time we dare request a professional act professional when the beacon is not flashing.

How do you interpret FOM 10.2.1?

Walk up and politely change the subject. If that doesn't work, politely ask them to stop. If that doesn't work, give up and tell someone about it later. If your relationship at this point is such that it will affect your ability to communicate during flight, call the chief and boot them or yourself from the trip.

This is a scenario straight from the new hire interview. Use some tact and don't be an a hole. Captains this is your job at all times in uniform. FO's without CA around. On or off the plane. Including the hotel lobby.

Bottom line is don't be jerk and be safe. Treat everyone with respect, even when they don't respect themselves.

If you need to do some extra work on your day off, God forbid, just do it. It's part of the profession.

Or... just head over to Chick Fil-A and chat up the cashier. More interesting and less hazardous to your career. Plus they have waffle fries, which are totally amazing with Catchup. Katsup. Whatever, it's the bomb. And they have lemonade which is also cool. The flight isn't leaving without ya so get what you need for that next leg. Don't worry about the FAs, they will be chowing down the whole way to Whateverville while you cross your legs waiting for that potty break and bag of smashed pretzels. The only political discussion should be whether you believe the bourgeois peasants in the back deserve APU air prior to D5.

Sadly, all that TMMAT/WWYD/STAR/AAA crap we learn in interview prep is simply what gets us through the 45 minute show of airline pilot interview theatre to make the HR touchy-feely people feel better.

What happens real world/online is night and day different. As evidenced by multiple posts in this thread. Or multiple years in this career.

If I ever worked in management you might have a point. There have been hundreds of posts far beyond what you state. The posters most in violation don't seem to post here anymore if at all. Since pretty much every single thing they posted starting before contract 2012 turned out wrong perhaps they got tired of being wrong. It may also be their posts led to unwanted attention and they are no longer around.
It's nice the last year to start seeing a new breed of posters far more positive then the "we're doomed I just know it, were all going to die" crowd that dominated here so long. Witness the recent posts on the fired pilots.
