Part 121, the "managers" often denigrated are the top level executive, not middle or line management. And when the pilots start delivering a long history of failure then management may indeed devote some forum time to our collective failings.
There is some angst at junior "managers" leapfrogging our long-held staff travel upload status. This despite the company insisting that we occupy a position analogous to a senior company officer. It is a violation of a previously understood compact between the pilots and the company.
Most of us lack the schooling and foresight to chase an executive position, but our hindsight is pretty good. Our sense of outrage at recent events and continuing executive level denial of what is obvious is shared with commentators world-wide, including The New York Times and Flight Global.
Ken Borough: thanks for that Fox News insight. Once again: everything was on the table three years ago but Joyce elected to lockout the workforce in a bid to get Fair Work to vacate the award. That failed, and the arbitrator kept almost all of the award provisions in place. But somehow that's our fault? Keep banging your emoticon head against the wall.
