I don’t see the long term win in punishing our customers and ourselves in the long game. So my real question, probably for the MEC too, is how do we not injure ourselves and yet bring this insanity and poor leadership to account? Is it even possible? What matters to them but not to our long term customers?
Time to vote in UAW to represent pilots . At least they got some Kahunas .

Man. Sour grapes sky is falling from the old guys. Great way to reach an audience. We could just brief to standard.

You may have been an active observer or perhaps a participant in the decisions of the past. Now you’re just sport “complaining” not trying to educate through story, example, or argument.

Try to do better. By all means preach as our history is important, but quantity of words and anger doesn’t make an argument.

Heres the proof that English/grammar skills, writing, and critical thinking are no longer taught in schools.

Want to keep a secret from a youngster? Write it in cursive.

Learn from history or repeat it, junior.

Wisdom comes from mistakes. The same ones you are making.

You'll learn. The hard way. Same as us.

I learned cursive in school. Am I allowed to have an opinion now?

It is the responsibility of the old "now senior" pilots to preach the tactics of management.

Even if the younger generation ignores you with the ear pods, you have to keep telling the stories. Embrace your inner curmudgeon.
They don't know how bad it can get, hopefully they will only know in tales and legends of yore.
With ear pods and being constantly distracted by watches they are not going to learn anything from older generations.
which simply means they’ll fall on their faces 10 times harder than we did when we were kids.
sad to see, but technology really kills the buzz.

when they fly through hail they blame the training department, when the lock the brakes they blame their shoes.
it’s cute and I hope it protects their licenses.
