More calls this AM. Maybe people aren’t helping out? How many RSA have gone out in the last 72 hours? How is this saving a dime? We spent 4 years haggling over peanuts for wages in the the CBA and now they just throw double time at everyone to make the operation function. There’s a high level of concern that would reach my desk if I was COO. I’d spend some time investigating how this could effect my ultimate goal of “Bluemanity”. All the happy horse $hit music stops when you start cnx flights for pilot staffing and customers take notice that we’re a garbage company. Pilot good will is dwindling.

Do you think she even knows they throw money at pilots just to keep the day to day running?

From my humble observation our Operations Officer has nothing to do with the Operation itself. It's purely a title given to her so that when Robin's time is up she has the "operations" experience required of a CEO.

Tri

I feel that you are correct. My blue juice heart wants to see success, because that’s what the mantra and the call asks of me. When I see disarray and fumbling at one end and then the other side tells me my uniform isn’t on right or I’m not wearing a coat (WTF happened to leather jackets?) make sure I’m planning my commute -maybe not on Jblue b/c they’ll cnx for staffing or at least possibly delay 11 hours till they find a legal reserve. It’s very unnerving. I think I care too much. Merry Christmas.

Once you learn to not GAS anymore this job becomes tolerable.

My limo diverted last night after failed landing at LGA.

I got stood up by a triple crown limo and two Uber’s too. In the Uber’s defense they were sent to airport’S
and I was at a hotel.
