Crs calling spouses phones for draft
#1
Well, I know we’re so overstaffed and this crisis is causing us to have no flight hours and the business is suffering. Guys are happy with this situation cause well it’s better than being in a ditch in Afghanistan or better than a furlough.
The reality? They’re calling spouses phones to track down pilots to offer them PREMIUM PAY to fly uncovered trips. What a joke! We are the joke. The company is laughing at us. Do NOT lift a finger for this farcical corporation. They’re hell bent on saving a penny in planing at the Managerial level while operationally it’s a goat rope.
Shame on this management team for punishing us with low wages and reduced hours. In the name of what? Corporate Greed.
If you’re having your spouse answer your DRAFT calls then shame on you too.

It wastes another 3 minutes for CRS to call my spouse to get the same NO, 3.5 to leave the pointless voicemail. I’ll add extra numbers to “help” them fail, get the kids, parents and grandparents involved!
This place sucks.

How about if he keeps at it until it stops sucking? That would be reasonable. I'd say it won't be anytime soon.

Gotta afford the country club in Germantown and the kid’s private schools. After retiring as Wing King at Burbelson AFB, the move to off-base housing at FedEx was an expensive but necessary lifestyle change.

Last week I was on reserve and they short called me but couldn’t get ahold of me. They got my wife and I was able to get into work without an irregularity. It turned out that the scheduler was using the wrong number for my cell, but if my wife’s number weren’t listed, good luck proving they dialed the wrong number.
They’re wasting their time calling spouses for draft. I’m for them wasting their time.

What management wannabe in the union agreed to irregularity reports???? Only airline I’ve ever heard of who has detention slips like that. So scary.

Glad you got a regular bowel movement once you got to work. Hope you did it at the AOC and not in the lavs that they never dump. PD’s desk would be the best spot for one.
