It's in my nature to question everything, and I do share some of starcheck's concerns. I'm concerned on how a number of things she is proposing would play out in reality. We always yell about it needing to be bottom up, yet there are a number of things she speaks of as becoming even more top down.

I like that shes including all of us in here mailings, though.

I won't get to vote anyways....

You're reps vote is your vote so yes you are voting blah blah blah.

That's be Heidi on the outside adjusting her opponent's mirror :)

Next time I drive into work am racing to the security gate and notice it's 80 driving beside me, I'm going to reach out and smack his mirror.

Reading these survey results is painful. Painful. I only read the ATL 717 ones, I don't want to venture out because my face palming is starting to hurt.

I don't get the complaining about 5-leg days. Is this some sort of shock? It's regional jet and Brasilia routes with a mainline NB regional jet, what exactly did one expect to happen on the 717? Four day trip with 6 legs worth 6 hours? I don't mind 5 leg days on the 717, it's got auto load and air conditioning!


I thought the most interesting answers were "I am a deadzoner. I have no retirement. I will fly til I die." and paraphrasing... "I need more 30 hour layovers, I have six kids under six and I need a break."

I think the whole reason for doing this survey and publishing it is to keep people from emailing and complaining that they're not getting the exact trip they want. Now those in charge can point at the survey and say "Do you see the collective bipolarness of the results? Expect no change."

I like what Heide says too. Contrast it with Moak's recent pompom waving letter a week after selling us out.

Is Heide a man or woman? It doesn't matter to me in a sexist way, I just wonder if a woman should end a letter with fraternally. It seems odd linguistically.

Just read the Pres's strengths and challenges letter. Not good. And no mention of the bloomberg comments. Something's gotta change.

Does anyone think Canoll (entrenched insider) will do anything whatsoever to reform the bloated beauracracy?

If you like Moak, you will like Canoll. He does exactly what Moak says. Nice enough guy, but he's been Moak's second banana for years.
