We think we matter but we are about the least important department at JB.

I do my job and my job only but when the operation goes to the toilet guess what makes the news. It isn’t the technology financial company.

Spend a few days in LSC and it's obvious to see operations is the "necessary evil" in upper level management's eyes..
Except they scaled back their summer flying by about 10% in an effort to improve the operation, even though they knew investors would hate it. Whether it works or not is another story, but it isn’t for lack or trying or desire it seems.

I'm not saying this is how B6 management thinks. They live up thier own rectum, but it is the reality. We are an airline. Nothing else.
