But then Trip Rippin and not enuf will come in here and tell us this dumpster fire is all great and our premium pax paying premium prices only to have their travel plans disrupted will still love us and it's nothing but a mirage. All is fine. Unbelievablely tone deaf, like our management

But ya’ll are probably right.. we’ll have Spirit’s image, AA’s bottom line, and cancel all WB orders to “show the pilots we’re serious” by end of year.
Truly, can’t wait to see none of that happen.

Does he? Im not defending him but these problems seem prevalent throughout the entire airline. It seems as if direction comes from the top on how all departments are to be managed and it also seems rather obvious that budgets likely don't fully allow them to do what needs to be done. This airline is great at making everyone think we are better than everyone else, the AMEX deal, building great lounges and a robust TechOps business. But when it comes to operational knowhow, the ball is dropped. And thats because since we are largest unionized group at the airline there is a need "rein us in" no matter the cost. They don't respect our contract to show us, the non-cons and perhaps Wall Street that they don't have to. I dont think it's any pilot's desire to hold the company hostage, especially if it hurts customers, ruins our reputation or cuts into profitability but we have a contract for a reason. If they ever start seeing the value in investing in us rather than viewing cooperation as capitulation, things will likely improve and still not be as expensive as what they've spent on trip coverage.
They opened this Pandora’s box. He basically said the quiet part out loud in the email re: 23m7. It wasn’t the pilots that unilaterally decided to start using it because we were understaffed.
We didn’t yank the agreed upon SILs during Covid.
We didn’t unilaterally suspend PB day usage to drop future trips for pay causing reserve pilots to reconsider picking up extra flying.
They dug this hole in the name of efficiency. It’s going to cost them greatly to fix it.
