Management....you're right about the power the FAU and ISD hold over the CPG group.....
I noticed the huge banner at dispatch proclaiming the "new" ISM's BRIEFING ROOM. I couldn't help but chuckle to myself as I pondered where the "old" Captains briefing room might be....much, less a "new" Captains briefing room.
Based pilots have no space to place their luggage....but the ISMs get a personal briefing room. Pilots can't get a meager pay rise, but a new briefing room for the ISM's....that's a top priority.
How much fuel savings have the ISMs yielded for the CPG?
Upside down logic....Working for the CPG, sometimes I feel like Charlton Heston in the original "planet of the apes" movie, when he stumbled out of his spaceship and looked up to see a gorilla riding a horse.
