Everyone saw the email that took someone half an hour to write about the several thousand dollar ALPA website upgrade right?

But yet, crickets when it comes to the PA policy. Guess we're making PAs. Get to it people.

And the N vs. S thing I just witnessed is embarrassing. Post merger hires are clearly the superior group.

There really needs to be a decision tree made on how best to handle the gate house PA.

Thoughts on how it should go?

START: Are you in JFK?

Yes.
1.) Do you know what is causing the delay? NO ===> Do not make a PA.

2.) Do you think you know what is causing the delay? YES ====> Yeah, right. Begin at START again.

:D

Yes, he is. Are we not contractually obligated to operate the aircraft safely?

Not to whine (I will take some cheese with it though) but as of tomorrow I will have 4 days on short call this month and I came back from a trip on the 1st.....

No clue who you are (doesn't matter really) but with a statement like that, there is no doubt you are Former NWA. Not trying to bring that whole debate up but it amazes me that some of us are so quick NOT do something that may be beneficial to our company as far as customer service goes. Lets cut our nose off to spite our face. Makes perfect sense to me:rolleyes:
I think I'm going to stop washing my uniform and stop wearing my tie because I don't recall that being in the CONTRACT:rolleyes:

Maybe I missed the memo, but I've always been under the impression that if my company does well, I in turn do well and get to support my family. Why would I not try to do what's best for my company even if not "contractually obligated" to do so. Seems pretty simple to me.

Like someone else said, are you contractually obligated to put the gear down?

To be someone who claims to be so company focused and who want's to do what is best for the company, I would think that you might see the benefit of NOT making a comment that disparages almost half of the pilot group by associating them with a negative attitude.

The merger was 4 years ago.

North is no different than South.

One big happy family, right? :confused:

Does it expressly state that in the contract? Do a keyword search for "safe" in the contract. The first one is in the NTSB definition, the second is in the Relocation section, the third talks about unsafe international airlines for deadheading. We have no contractual obligation to operate safely. The point I've been politely trying to make is that operating climate (like making PAs, and putting the gear down) are a condition of our employment. The section you'd reference for not putting the gear down is Section 18.
