That said, I've also worked at some really bad places. Again that doesn't mean we don't try to make this place better. But there is a difference between being frustrated, and wanting better, and making myself miserable all the time. I just can't do that.

I posted a couple things when I was angry the other day that I wish I hadn't, but I did. I think the union is right in the post they put up the other day about what gets posted here. There is a fine line between SOP and obstruction and we should be careful not to cross it. Not for the sake of the company but for ourselves. If we are seen to be obstructing or even engaging in work actions, how are we going to expect a mediator to look upon our case favorably? And really how effective is taxiing slow really going to be? I'd rather we keep doing our jobs, SOP, and allow the MEC and the NC to get the job done for us.

On the other side of that, breaking SOP by taxiing at break neck speeds is not a good idea either. Dropping the brake before clearance to push is not only breaking SOP but both the company and the union have told people to stop doing that. Doing these things to "help out" is not helping anyone on either side of this. And yet people continue to do this.
