A nice gesture is a nice gesture but to get your picture taken with a baby and have someone write about is another thing. Seems very political and fake, thats all. Im sure the ramp guy was really excited to get his picture taken with a real life pilot. I just been kicked in the nuts to many times over the last decade...
Executive management showed up to tell us how much we are appreciated and part of the team? They needed an image coach to tell them this? Kind of like when our last Chief Pilot was told the pilot group thought he lacked integrity and he assigned 2 underlings to work on ideas to change that. Sorry I feel like an 18 year old kid with an absentee Father that has told me my entire life Im a pain in his ass, a drain on his wallet, Im a screw up and need to stop making mistakes, and to Listen and Follow instructions without asking 'why' all the time. He also took away my tuna sandwiches for lunch and I only get enough gas money to get to school and back...and he shows up out of the blue to tell me Im not that bad and what a great holiday this was and we should do this again next year! Don't worry the therapist says Im making progress and my guidance counselor said I had a bright future as an airline pilot. |

I'm taking this "propaganda and PR stuff" as a sign of change from the new VP, TL. He came from SWA which has this kind of stuff sewn into their corporate psyche.

As we all know, there are far worse management teams in this industry. Enjoy the top of the hill on the rollercoaster ride called aviation.

Sometimes a cookie is just a cookie. Eat it or don't. Either way, why not just smile and say "thank you"?

My questions/comments were about the Corporate Communication and the PR on PFC. I guess Im in left field...back to our industry leading contract and industry leading management team. Did Kool-aid come with the cookies? |

And now those employees are being told pilots are good people, and worthy of a gesture of kindness. Where is the fault in that?

And I can honestly say I've never been accused of drinking The Company's Kool-Aid before. I'm not quite sure how to process that. :rolleyes: . |

Whoa whoa whoa...stop the train. I get it y'all think I'm butt hurt over the cookies and the 3 non-executive employees getting their picture taken giving cookies and sharing the collective appreciation with the pilots.
If you have not read the 2 corporate communications on PFC my lack of enthusiasm was directed at EXECUTIVE Managment team visiting AOC on the Saturday day sort...but hey maybe you were all as excited to see them as much as the article says you were. Happy New Year... |
