our management
Dear Mr. Management,
I read your posts with interest and sometimes disbelief. Needless to say I respect your point of view and with hopes you do the same with others, I humbly give my opinion.
“Your airline” was created on the vision and effort of the real management and their followers. Call them management, pilots, ground staff, engineers, cabin crew… They were a team. Not anymore. It is through post and ideas like yours that many are flooding off to other pastures, they may not be greener, darker or otherwise, they are simply others. De-motivated, angry, lacking passion or disappointed would be a wiser term. Markets come and go, but service and customer loyalty are forever. That has never changed and even with the tight grip of closing competition it will always stand. Passengers on our cherished airline continue to be so due to the name and confidence it has created throughout the years, it’s safety record and personal efforts name so. The tone of your posts will only continue to erode our lack of confidence. I humbly and unrequestedly speak for all the professionals and otherwise that serve our employer.
It is with such negativism that others view our profession and our job, our very particular job. You will not be able to find adequate future replacements to our ever eroding leadership. Be it in the cockpit or the office. Tell me now, who can replace a crew relations manager that gave more than it was required, more than anyone dream off for its co-workers? Why would the best chiefs continue to take basings and make their daily sacrifice if there is no support from those that are supposed to stand by their side? Why would you have officers joining the training machine if they have little to add but frustration and discouragement? I sometimes wonder. Giants, like dinosaurs, have their time. So have you.
Ours is a very worthwhile profession to pursue and many will follow. Not here. The roots have become soaked in nitrogen, the trunk polished off to bare wood leaving no cork for the next season, our leaves tarnished with fumes. A sad tree to nest on, if you ask me.
I take your posts very personal as they are an attack to the core of my personal believes. You are a joker and a good one. But you do make a good point.
Cheers to your bonus!
