That wow moment
Has anybody had that wow moment where you were excited about something we got? I've had more than a few where I said I can't believe the company got that. I feel underwhelmed at this point.

Yep. The more I read, the more it depresses me. What are we doing?!?!

How about this WOW moment?
Last month we found out that we were improperly shipping (carrying on our airplanes!) LIVE BIO-TERROR GERMS!
Now there's a missing RADIOACTIVE shipment? Radioactive material sent to Texas A & M goes missing - CBS News Maybe this is why we should be paid better than the pax carrying folks? http://wabe.org/post/fedex-says-it-w...-viruses-ebola http://www.wmcactionnews5.com/story/...-through-fedex :confused: |
Looking over this TA I am really beginning to see where this is probably a big net positive for the Company. POP changes, intercontinental DH changes, crap retirement increases and much more.
I believe they really think we are fools, which we are. It reminds me of going into 580 Nanjing in PVG with a new guy to Asia. He wants to buy something and when he gets it for 5% less than was offered he thinks he got a good deal. Not everyone here is like that. But enough to allow the 50%+1 vote on a TA. We should all read the dang TA and honestly ask if it compensates us appropriately. Not ask is it the best we can get, etc. Lets act like vertebrates. |
I had my wow moment yesterday, when I realized the NC is smoking crack, the company is in the process if ****ing us and doesn't give a ****, and I realized my dream job is now a nightmare.

My wow moment was---as I read each section I began to realize there are so many concessions or items that remain status quo ( or very very little improvement)--- all for a MERE COLA!!!!! My additional WOW was realizing so many of us are actually HAPPY or RELIEVED when a section or item didn't DEGRADE! After 4+ years of negotiations and record profits ---COLA, concessions, or status quo ( WOW)
|
Yup, that's where we are the days. We accept marginalization, and don't respect ourselves or our profession. The company certainly doesn't.

It's public math and I could be wrong, but let's go with it.
Assume 15 yr W/B Capt, 1,000 CH per year, and that 'normal' 3% raise each year: Code:
Rate 1,000 CH Lost per yr And notice that the $35K 'bonus' would only cover next year's deficit of $4,510 :eek:. |

That wow moment
Ahhh... Great. Valuable input.
Just looking for attention and being intentionally vague. Awesome. I bit on it, now I'm done. |
Come on, lighten up. There can't be humor here? Its just a stupid forum. Don't let stupid comments like mine bug you. Enjoy the chaos here and have some fun.

Why were we unwilling to give up the PMU priority for real-time trip trading?
We gave up POP for seniority-based training bids. Besides, what good is bidding for training when the training dates slide at the whim of the company? |
