I heard it’s because they forgot to feed the hamster running it

 

You have got to be a troll. Basic mathematical calculations about how many pilots are required to fly X number of hours, and a failiure to provide basic internal customer service are not "growing pains."

It's gross incompetence--incompetence paired with a toxic lack of accountability and introspection. No need to do better--just blame the pilots. Corporate/managerial hubris is driving the operation straight into the ground.

No one has been fired. Probably because the bench is stocked with incompetent ideologues instead of high-functioning, pragmatic leaders. Gumm has buttressed his position by surrounding himself with buffoons.

Rippy, maybe they're just printing up your puff posts and giving them to the boss. "See? The pilots love it here! We're killing it! Say, will you sign off on our Sick Leave Sheriff position?"

Have you been shorted pay yet? Been called into the CPO for something ridiculous? Open your eyes man

 

Yeah the amount of cancels we have been having day after day is embarrassing. It’s not pilots playing games, it’s the NB B side just not having bodies particularly in ATL. Just look at the OT. The time to hire 100 717 FOs in ATL for right now was a year ago.

 

Rumors are middle management chasing the almighty completion factor refusing to cancel something that makes sense and it causing ripples all day long.

 

Actually I’ve just been making a ton of money on RRPY and QS. My time card is accurate and I’ve never had any issues with the CPO. Again, this place is an echo chamber of a handful of guys that act like their career is a living hell and some poor souls may buy into it. It’s actually insane to witness.. As long as Delta keeps ending the year as #1 in profits with the gap widening from #2 and #3 I’m happy. That’s exactly what’s gonna keep on happening.

 

This comes across as Stockholm Syndrome. Of course, everyone wants DL to be #1. But we are also not willing to just allow the company to mistreat and disrespect us, or to walk all over the contract just to make that happen.

I agree there are some on here who will never give the company credit. But at least as bad are those for whom the company can do no wrong. It comes across like Baghdad Bob.

You don’t seem to be willing to call both balls and strikes. In your view, it’s all strikes. Don’t be suprised when the crowd gets loud and angry when that ball in the dirt gets rung up as a strike.

 

I genuinely can't believe you can look at what's going on and have zero complaints about management or the company. I don't even know if Rose colored glasses would accurately describe it

 

the fact that “You’ve been making a ton of money on rrpy and qs” and don’t see why that’s a problem is miraculous. Ask Senior how many GS they got per month when we were properly staffed.

The time to be alarmed is not AFTER we start losing money, it’s at soon as the trend arrow points in the wrong direction. Fix the trend before it becomes a problem. The fact that you think everything is fine and dandy means you are a prime candidate for management here. Today is all that matters and tomorrow is someone else’s problem.

Get out of the “echo chamber” as you call it and talk to reps. Talk to scheduling committee, RCC, FRB, CA…. This isn’t isolated man, and this isn’t opinion. There is data, there are recordings, cases, evidence…. You have no idea how much they see and fight behind the scenes that never makes it on Facebook/APC. It’s egregious and getting worse

 

He’s probably already applied for the Sick Leave Sheriff position.
