Learn from history or repeat it, junior.
You’d be best off keeping your secrets with pig Latin. I’ll forgive you for not understanding that though, everyone has things to learn.

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?
Hats?

Hats off + a new lanyard is the best first step.

1. It’s legal and RLA-compliant.
2. It has no adverse effect on our customers. They don’t care as long as we fly from point A to point B safely and on time.
3. It gets under management’s skin (see PB’s emotional tantrum over hats during an upgrade class visit last year).
4. There is absolutely nothing that management can do about it when adopted by >90% of the pilot group.

If I recall correctly, ol' Dougie Parker made his attempt in late 2006. In July of 2004, Delta began recalling furloughees so a vast majority would have been recalled by the end of 2006 (almost 2 1/2 years later) while Parker's shenanigans were playing out.

That about cover it? We s seem to be getting a coalition of strange bedfellows, who's sole common theme is a pizzed off attitude.


again.....

Reminds me of the high school student looking at the Declaration of Independence. What is this foreign language?

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.
Most of my generation learned more about bad and hostile management who dragged negotiations on for upwards of a decade at our regionals. And my generation dealt with it and the repercussions of having to fight management while making 10% of what you made. Forgive us if we don't need your patronizing attitude.
