I'm not suggesting we "walk on eggshells" to avoid escalation. I'm merely envisioning some type of punitive response typical of management.

Ummm…. They used to be 12 hours. They changed that and it wasn’t out of the goodness of their heart. Delta is a data driven Air Line and it works best for them at 6 because they ran the numbers and callouts after 6 are as rare as PB forgetting his hat. Yes it’s win/win but let’s not pretend it was a gift, it has clear advantages for them to be at 6.

Ain’t that the truth. The only thing I’ve EVER seen them do out of the goodness of their heart was to give us a commuter-friendly hat.

Yup. There ain’t no such thing. The best we can hope for is the occasional unforced error that falls our way….

That was to placate the no-cons. They were playing the long game to keep unions out.

Agreed, but they didn't have to include us. I would say not including the only real union workgroup would have sent a stronger message.

Perhaps, but that would fly in the face of the “one big happy Widget family” facade they like to push

He also cloud have looked at the Daily Trip Cov and see I was assigned the trip 40 min ago.

Then what a d-bag
