Actually, I'd be more interested in seeing that whoever made that manager feel like he needed to manage in that way be reprimanded out of a job. When I read the OP, it sounds to me like a manager pushing the policies he's been given by someone else.

Personally I'll be watching for our updated seniority list on the alpa website.

How is the CRJ fleet manager that sent this even a pilot? Homie had delusions of being RW junior until his world got shattered.

I’ve been on hundreds of flights where I didn’t burn my contingency fuel, use a back up generator/redundant system, or blow the fire bottle (much less both of them). We should get rid of all these expensive “extras” to save the company money. Speaking of which how do you all feel about the new Greatly Valued Single Pilot Program (GVSPP) they’re launching in the fall? Someone at HQ heard that the military has single pilot jets and saw the $$$!

It’s good this got so much attention from everyone. The company knows they went about this one all wrong. Pilots get harassed on a daily basis from management at this company but this time it was just a little too far over the line.

Maybe the survey shined a light on how things are being handled and management is actually reacting positively to that? That's my hope. That or FAA got involved

Why don’t you call your ALPA rep and find out. How do you know they are not?

Step by step people. Evidence gathering is needed. You don’t go to the FAA with complains. You go with evidence (not just a couple HI6 messages).

Follow the Guidelines, and call your rep with questions. This applies to FOs as well.

Re-read the FASTREAD a few times. Well written, with purpose.

This has nothing to do with the survey. No one would have complained that we take too much fuel. That was purely management. I hope everyone mentioned our horrible ramp crews (some are great!). We do the work trying to minimize delays only for someone to ruin that at either end by not going a ****. They have zero initiative and I frankly don’t blame them. I just hope that it’s addressed. Nothing like watching your commute close up because you waited 5 minutes for ramp crews sitting on their asses.

^^^^^^^^THISSSSSSSSSS^^^^^^^^^ ORD! How much was pay for the GPUs??? Yet Ramper connect it but don’t plug it in often! I hear the GPU cart running but no power at many times WTFlip!

Majority of crew members I’ve flown with want to save fuel. Some reason Management think pilot are the problem. I don’t understand why!????
