On Morale - an observation.
Over the last 5 years or so I have heard the airline pilots voices getting more miserable by the week. Thats if some some of them are actually awake enough to speak.
But being fair, the voices of the ATC are getting just as miserable, and just as tired.
Or maybe we are just all getting old and cranky - and tired of the transparent management tactics that are occurring to all of us. If this is the relaxed and comfortable society model that the little rodent spoke of - it doesn't sound like it in the voices of the relaxed and comfortable workers.
