You have to admit this his email is funny. Perfectly frames how out of touch management proves to be. What a dou***! Take him up on his offer and go visit him, although remember "he will not tolerate insubordination," but you shall respect his power-trip... I can see all kinds of "havoc" in his future. Make sure those planes are 100% safe 100% of the time and you are always fit to fly!

This isn't supposed to be a management sympathizer post, BUT
Having said that, the ADO in MEM is a personal friend of mine and I can easily say he's not a douche! (Well maybe sometimes when asking for "lav dumps")
His hands are tied by senior management. It's a tough position to be in guys...imagine being in his shoes for just one second. Give the guy some slack.

Well, I'm not at this company but I've worked for guys in that position who were on opposite sides of the spectrum. I've gotta say that someone in that position should be a shield and a buffer between management and the pilots. It is a tough job and some do it very well and others can't hack it. With all the talk about pilots finding other employment, truth be told, if you can't be a good advocate for the pilots then you find another job.

"I don't think you pilots understand the real reason we are changing the policy. We know flying an airplane is a very sedentary job, and many pilots will gain weight during their careers. We, your loving management, in an effort to keep your waistline from growing, we have instituted these changes. That's how much we care about our employees!"
I assume that response is from a "company man" sporting buck-teeth and a gold chain.

You're right...lack of pilots won't help them make money. But a lack of pilots might make them understand that their pilots need a livable wage.

You guys better listen up and show some respect. Management may just fire the entire flight department and replace everyone with interns from Kansas State.
