Lost Soul; I am not a manager, but I do believe that the Flight Crew Instruction raised by CP on the subject is evidence that they do listen. It is another matter if one, or some of our colleagues decides to ignore an instruction from the CP. I guess their remedial therapy will be starting shortly at the job centre.
As for my attitude, it is a can do positive attitude of someone who loves flying, gets on with his job and doesn't think twice to tell management that they can do something better. I have been here for more than 6 years and things only get better. We are no longer just a bunch of paddy's taxiing too fast and flying on the barbers pole. I just wish that some of our guy's had the balls to put their point across directly to a manager rather than whimper on here. That's all.
