Here you are left to laugh, but also to say “can I count on this being here when I need my 401k?” Should I hit the eject button?
If ELT said “Look we’re working on staffing. We’ll make this happen. Just keep doing what you can to help.” These are things I can work with. But all you see is more bluemanity cost savings rhetoric.
IDK. I think we’re heading for a very very rough IROP when it snows. It’s going to snow. Marooster got fired when we shut down for a day in Jan 2014. That was embarrassing. He was the COO. If I was the COO, I’d be making a list and checking it twice so I didn’t end up like Marooster.

Totally agree but they would NEVER admit there is a problem. Like you said just an easy hey “we know” but they won’t even say that.
There is no way they fire JG nope

I loved the email yesterday about “keep helping through the last 5 days of the holiday. We’re almost there!! We may actually survive our self created staffing nightmare. Oh and please don’t be upset about the fact we’re publicly blaming pilots for our major staffing and operational disaster. Just keep rowing, I mean helping”
I think it’s great that we’re all making tons of money to fly their mistakes. This could keep up for all of 2019. Happy New Year!!

It's embarrassing. I didn't see DL, AA, SW or even a regional have any delays on that beautiful VMC day.

Yup had a jfk FA that we were working with ask why all the pilots called out. She said that’s what they were told. I’m glad ALPA pushed back on that oh wait.
