So what happened to the pilots of spirit fb page…. It’s gone. Did someone take their ball and go home?

Apparently, pretty dumb.

Someone sent a screen shot of a fairly obvious and innocuous joke to a bottom rung Hollywood producer who then used it to start haranguing Spirit on social media.

sounds pretty chicken isht to me.

Straight up coont behavior. The kicker is the producer is guilty of doing what was being joked about.

Can I ask a dumb question? When has using real names on a company themed Facebook page ever ended well? Doesn’t matter the what or the why, has this ever been a good idea in the history of the internet?

Complete downfall of a generation. What FB and Instagram has done to the fabric of society is beyond criminal.

You mean exposed the true nature of humanity. How most people feel nothing but disdain for others and will gladly share such opinions behind the virtual wall of social media. I agree. FB is the devil.

And the follow up question: why does any adult even have Facebook or Instagram?

Why does any adult have a smart phone? Times change. People adapt.

Not everyone is on a chat of some kind so I think sharing of news, asking questions and even the occasional joke is a fine use of a company Facebook page.

When I joined FB in 2004, you needed an .edu email account. It was a great way to stay in touch with your high school friends at other schools. What it is today is not what it was then.

Where exactly is your lawn, so I know to stay off of it?

Yup. Same.

I was one of the earliest when you couldn't even sign up. You had to be invited in to facebook to join with your .edu

I deleted my FB about 8-10 years ago, one of my better decisions.

:p
filler…

I see plenty of boomers on FB.

I don’t necessarily see it as the “downfall of a generation.” More of a case of if you’re stupid enough to post stuff on fb and think there will be no consequences, you get what you get. That said I’ve never had a fb page and I am pretty happy without it.

Sorry, I don't see why posting something funny, and then commenting that it is, in fact, funny, should cause an NOI. People take things wayyy too seriously. Whatever. I'm done with it all.

Too bad - there was a lot of good stuff on there that’s not on base chats. Some good questions as well with peoples real names so it wasn’t outlandish. Someone takes a screen shot and forwards it? What is this a regional with 320’s? Can’t have anything nice here.

What kind of person would take a screenshot and spread it like that? I'm not saying what was posted was at all acceptable but we're supposed to be a team.

agree - what is this a regional? That person will probably Leave for a legacy too

what a shame - guess it’s what’s to be expected now in 2021 and beyond.

But now how will I find out what size Karbon jacket to buy?

real talk tho… it’s a shame that being an adult is hard for some people… don’t like the content/comment move along. The FB group had some great threads with people sharing their pictures, and every once in a while you would get some good info too.

if the screen shot rumor is true… may that person catch Chlamydia

What was posted was acceptable in the form of a joke. Which it was. Pretty benign at that. It was unacceptable if someone had actually done it. Which they hadn’t.

More than a few guys at my shop have had FB screenshots slid across the table to them at a disciplinary hearing. The current group we have is heavily moderated by our Comms Committee. Doesn't mean the Memes aren't fast and furious, but they do their best not to give the company any ammo.

If we lived in a free country where we respected each others views that would be true. Sadly we all have to be very careful about what we say because there are a lot of people out there that won't like what you say, and do whatever is in their power to punish you for it. It's a sad world we live in.

Whoever it was, no need for them to set an alarm as they are already woke.

Led to massive narcissism, depression, and general uncivil behavior. Social and FB/Instagram specifically has completely screwed up people’s brains over the last 15years.

If you cannot call or text someone on your “friends” list then they are not actually your friend and you don’t need to know or stalk their lives and same for them to you. True friends can be called directly.

Even if it wasn’t a joke, and he really did it, still no reason to close the page. People get offended too easily, and punishing a group for the perceived misdeeds of one person was wrong in kindergarten and still is. The most that should have happened is him getting a call from someone saying “I know it’s a private fb page, but nothing is private, so beware.”.

Yup.

People's thoughts and opinions are not usually set in stone, they can be rather tentative and fluid.

FB, etc allows them to spew garbage with impunity (maybe even cheered on in their echo chamber of choice), which re-enforces those thought patterns.

In the old days if someone has a tentative thought they're going to vet that in the context of "if I say that out loud, is this guy going to punch me in the face?". If they're afraid to say it, they may wonder if they should be thinking it. Stupid or extreme thought patterns tend to get constrained, at least until enough people start agreeing with you that.

You boys think Facebook is bad? Go check out Twitter for a few weeks. I’ve considered the platform may be a government experiment on “groupthink”.

Twitter got so toxic for me during the Minneapolis riots (hometown) I had to delete my account and app, haven’t looked back. You should have seen some of the insane $hit I had to read from people I considered to be good people (or I wouldn’t have been following them). I was reading junk left and right from kids I went to high school with cheering the buildings of small business owners being looted and burned down to the ground, videos of fire fighters having rocks thrown at them while trying to put out the fires, all justified in their sick minds.

The even more insane part, the platform is so left leaning those tweets had massive amounts of “likes” which basically helps justify their sick thoughts.

I have Facebook, it’s NOTHING compared to the rhetoric you see on Twitter, DAILY.

Team OG Facebook here. It was great back in the .edu days but I'd say my activity slowly started tapering off circa 2010.

Out of sheer boredom I became active on FB again early on in the pandemic (like many others), and was quickly reminded of why I had stopped looking at it several years prior. I can confirm that as recently as January 2021 it was still mostly an echo chamber full of easily offended weirdos.

I would post an outlandish meme or something with heavily facetious and sarcastic undertones, and get serious responses (usually from triggered airline pilots) trying to have a serious debate while posting graphs and other weird bs.

I swear that a large chunk of our industry, and probably most currently active FB users, have absolutely zero social calibration.

Hopefully the “screen shotter’s” aren’t an indication of what spirit will become but as the pilot shortage continues - I’m sure this will become the new norm. Sandi can filter people but as the pool dries up - insert the mirror analogy. Should be a great place to work as the second lowest paid airbus operator

What is Facebook??

did you mean Meta?

More like Feta.

I think it's "Miata"

;)
