It’s even dumber to put this near LAS airport since few of our passengers originate there. A snowbird location would have been a better choice. All this will do is cause management to take us even less seriously. Ask anyone at HQ and they will tell you they see our reps as a bunch of amateurs who are easily outplayed. Crap like this only reinforces that. A better use of our money would be legal action as they have promised. Not another asinine publicity stunt. Smarten up boys. You’re playing checkers.
The above is a textbook example of the sort of internal derision that the company is hoping to create amongst our pilot group and these types of posts are celebrated amongst the labor relations lawyers who are trying to punish us for voting in a union.
Grow up. If you have a problem with it, there are meanss by which you can express your opinion without putting a smile on management’s face.
