Tiger, funnily enough i've been doing much the same, and came up with a very similar number to yourself. Basically, our management distort, obfuscate and outright lie. They have no moral compass, so therefore the ends justify the means. Internally they are panicking, and they are desperate to pretend that all is under control. The thing is, we, the ones who actually do the work in this airline know the facts, because we see it every day on the line, and personally know many individuals who have either already left, or are in the process of doing so. It would be comical if it wasn't so tragic. It's been a process of degradation over more than 20 years, and we are now reaching the end game. The current DFO is desperately trying to gather up his own little pot of gold before the train well and truly comes off the tracks. Can't stand the sight of any of our management, they are all in it for themselves. Nothing more. There is no career to be had at this airline, at least not one worth dedicating your life to. Time to Win...?, more like Time to Leave. Can hardly wait for the DFO's next letter. At least there is still some entertainment to be had here (and I second Traf's comments regarding the race baiting....appalling).
