BS,
I think P was trying to say that laying low without creating waves gets you the farthest in this airline.
Not that you have to bend over and hand over the jar of vaseline the whole time!
Very few suck-ups have actually made it somewhere in this airline, its actually the opposite! The more you do for the company, the less you get!
Do your job and go home for most people still is the best option in this environment!
