So I wonder how many people got extended into their days off as a result of this latest IROP. Otherwise known as weather. I only wonder that because the company that is supposedly negotiating in "good faith" couldn't even keep their negotiators at the table for fear of missing their flight home? Funny how they didn't do that for any of the crews that may not get home on time, you know, cause we had jobs to do.

That said, had a captain today who not only taxied quickly, but also (opinion here) worked really hard to make an earlier intersection on landing. I don't normally question that stuff but it was pretty dramatic. Had both a lanyard and a baggage handle cover.

Spoke to another guy on the bus wearing a lanyard and had a baggage handle, who was looking forward to picking up a VDA again this week.

Why is there still goodwill??

Because people are absolutely clueless to the fact that picking stuff up hurts their own cause. CLUELESS. They look at you like a deer caught in the headlights.

How can you tell him something like that? Don't you see that he actually cares. If taken to it's logical conclusion, your thought process results in an overall mediocre workplace. Even people like YOU will want to quit.

Then stow your **** poor attitude mister.

We don't QUIT simply because we haven't won the battle. We're in it for the war.

Why was there EVER goodwill from pilots in the first place?

Have not pilots learned from the past 70 years of history with every company on the planet?

Who is gullible enough to ever believe a publicly traded company will do things on goodwill!!??

They will always hide behind the Myth of Fiduciary Responsibility (Myth of fiduciary responsibility).

Look guys, Vietnam taught us what it's like to negotiate with the enemy and only to use sufficient force to bring them back to the table. On the other hand, the Gulf War demonstrated how Shock and Awe with nothing but overwhelming dominance works.

What's great is that our company negotiators need to come home early but Robin can go up to Boston and do an anti union speech to the flight attendants. He couldn't miss that.

Too bad he and the ELT have poisoned the morale here so badly it was a complete waste of time.
