So, by your logic, you would say whatever they want you to say, since they pay your paycheck. In addition to that, the money they get to pay you comes directly from Delta Airlines - who is the one instructing Mesaba (possibly if it is to follow like the rest) on what they want said to their passengers! So tell me again, why do you get to decide what you will say?

Really...who cares... make the stupid PA saying Delta..finish the trip.. go home and forget about it. Saying Delta or Delta Connection isnt gonna change the fact that we are paid and treated like crap.

Who cares, though... you don't work for Delta, right? You may have been joking about the above statement... hence the smiley. It's just annoying when a DCI carrier doesn't give a crap about Delta passengers. If the passengers have a bad experience on a DCI carrier, they don't get ****ed at Comair, Skywest, ASA, etc... they get ****ed at Delta. This is one of many reasons why we need to take some of our flying back and/or not give away anymore scope. We need to be able to control the quality of our product.

According to the numbers our management publishes ASA and Skywest actually get higher marks than mainline when it comes to providing the passengers with "timely and accurate" information. I believe the forms and questionnaires that customers complete do not allow the customer to fill in the carrier, the company that compiles that information determines what carrier the customer was flying based on flight number and date.

Nope that wasn't me. I was not joking though. When we are delayed I make plenty of announcements. I was just talking about normal boarding announcements. If there is something wrong I will let people know. It just suck to always have to appologize for the company I work for, ie waiting for 30 to 45 minutes for numbers. I care greatly for my pax. I could care less if they are "Delta" pax, when they are on my airplane they are MY pax, and I will treat them like I would my family.

I kind of agree with you. I get so sick of the standard PA "welcome aboard flight #### service to ###, operated by ####." People know where they are going and they can care less about what flight it is. Cockpit PA's should be short and concise and not drag on and on. |
