Two more calls this morning and no luck.....

Weekly flight ops update asks me not to walk through the terminal with a furrowed brow because of the negative effects on our passengers. The same update makes no mention of our horrendous holiday cancellation record. Is pilot body language the new D0 to launch us back to leading the industry?

I could honestly go without the weekly and monthly flight ops updates to let those working on them tackle more pressing issues. They’re reminding us to turn out the lights as we exit the burning building.

Oh, and update your darn ipads already!

If seeing my furrowed brow while walking the terminal gives you pause to fly, maybe don’t fly.

Flight ops is tone def to the actual reality of operations these days. It's easier for them to point the finger at the front line employees than it is to look at their own bad decisions.

The next step is updating airport facial recognition cameras with enhancements that include body language detection. Expect a revised pilot dashboard that tracks pilot body language in addition to other metrics. Updating crew resources tools and iCrew functionality will be delayed as we implement this new, important metric.

Where is the PWA am I not allowed to have a furrowed brow?

Getting old, it's wrinkles fools!

I guess mandated BOTOX is coming next?

A little Botox goes a long way.

Now I know where all my alimony went with the ex wife.

Multiple trips still not crewed this morning (Jan 1) past report time.

Let's see....[checks flightaware cancellations...that's odd....]

Uh, one airline is rather conspicuously missing from the list today. I'm sure it's just a glitch? The data is there for yesterday, but not today or tomorrow.

I've long suspected that big companies have departments that do nothing except work with search engine/data aggregators to suppress unflattering news. 2 years ago you could google any airline and see an daily example of, uh, shenanigans' in the plane/terminal. Across all carriers, unless it's really, really bad, you almost never find that stuff now unless you know exactly what to look for in advance. I don't believe "customer service challenges" have gone away, but I'd be willing to bet that google is more than happy to offer a "Fortune 500 News Protection Package"...for a fee.

That's fine, and a smart business strategy. But woe to he who goes to "The Google" for reliable information.
