Glofish/Varmint/ Tango Uni/fliion et all
We're all singing to the same tune no doubt. Our record is only as good as our last flight regardless of how many years of Najms or years of unblemished service and I'm well aware of that. Agreed too with the fact that there have been some rediculous warnings and letters issued when all it would have taken would have been an extra 5 minutes of research, a phone call and an extra big bollock to stand up to the next level of management.
However, and to the Companies credit, I'm also aware that things have improved regarding disciplinary procedures and that nobody has been fired in the last few years in which, quite frankly, they hadn't deserved. I therefore go to work, do the job to the best of my ability and try to make myself and the rest of the crew have a good day out... or is often the case, night out! Too many are constantly looking over their shoulder and that, to me, is not how the job should be done. This job is what you make of it, regardless of who you work for.
My frustrations rest with the minority of pilots who can't even do the simple things like put on a standard uniform. I mean, FFS, how difficult can it be. As someone already said, we're not 800 anymore, we're over 3500 and when the Company see a few wayward behaviours, they carpet bomb every bugger and we all suffer.
These forums are our chance to vent our frustrations with the Company. It's also our chance to vent frustrations with the minority of idiots who seem hell bent on screwing it up for the majority. I've worked too bloody hard getting this far to have some dip!!!! take my first class entitlement away because he or she wore jeans or have any other hard earned perk removed due to the indifference, belligerence or downright stupidity of a minority.
I'm just a little surprised that more people don't use peer pressure or intervention on the line to highlight such behaviour to these few idiots.

P.S When did I get a warning for not wearing my hat? I'm getting forgetful in my old age but I don't remember that.....I love my hat!
