All right stop, collaborate and listen
Ice is back I got a brand new invention
Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop? Yo-I don't know
Now turn off the lights (huh) and I'll glow
And to the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle
Ice is back I got a brand new invention

Your iPad has an OET survey icon somewhere.... filled it out after enduring the class today. My brutal honesty shocks even me now that I reread my answers. I post them here for your entertainment, but also checking to see if I am way off base:
13. What can Pilots and Dispatchers do to improve operational efficiency?
Insist that this class be cancelled due to the fact of fuel being 1/2 of what it was when the business plan was written. No way I will be convinced that the costs (wages, facilitators, facility, food, negative training etc...) of this class will be recovered in a recognizable form of improved pilot compliance... EVER. The funds would be far better allocated to increased ramp staffing, or the purchase of long term fuel contracts at the current historically low prices, or more direct ground staff management actually engaged in training and leadership. We are spending millions of dollars to attempt to obtain fractions of a percentage more adherence, the value of which has been so eroded by the oil glut, that it is literally flushing money down the drain, to fix a problem that never exsisted.
14. Comments, questions and suggestions.
This class has done more to convince me that we are destine to repeat the worst of either pre-merger former legacy cost boondoggles, only on a larger scale. Although our most visible and public failure in fuel policy of the past (hedging at historic highs) was embarrassing, this class is demeaning for those of us that really do wish to see maximized profits. If someone just wants me to put my head in the sand, cooperate and graduate, that's fine, but if you want honest feedback, reallocate the costs of this class and address the real true failures at our airline that negatively affect the perception of our product.
