The Friday Flyer
When the now DFO joined as GMA she promised a good working relationship. It did not really take all that long to see it was not true. She did not really accomplish anything as GMA and in fact brought us to where we are. Now, as DFO, she is doing the same. We tried to work with her, bringing up the issues and offering solutions to be met with no. I do not believe her, I do not trust her. This all could have been fixed a long time ago. Does anyone still remember the May 31st threat but now she wants to work with us. Oh, and, FOREGT PARIS!
The current GMAs emails are stuff of legend but it's the new side letters, after the TA has been agreed to, that is the sneakiest of all. He too has accomplished nothing. I do not believe nor trust him either.
The new GMF does not have the respect of his pilot's. He was ruthless as Chief Pilot. He used threats and intimidation and fired people. Hell, he fired people in his first few months at GMF just to show his power. Anyone remember the 747 Captain that did not check out in the Bus, was bumped to FO then fired? He was treated with such disdain is was unbelievable. Now, he wants to work with us and we must believe growth will be great. He has done nothing to date to improve ANYTHING. An outdated training and assessment system, out of seniority commands and type changes etc.. are still common place. I really don't trust him.
The GMO talks down to us like we are high school students. His arrogance and condescension are legendary. Does anyone remember reading the letter he wrote to Rod about being a serious issue and he better come see him. Now he wants to clarify the AFTLs. We have asked for some time and were told eat it, that's the way it is but it will be ok going forward, I promise. And how about this force mejure? We get typhoons all the time and he knows it. One typhoon anywhere and force mejure, TA is null and void. The best one is the outage at the airport at the ticket counters. I do not believe or trust him as well.
The relationship was damaged by them not us. Yammer has been used as a tool against us but we are all going to be friends again. Of course now that people are really understanding the language of the TA, we are all seeing their true colors. You'll see their real stripes when it gets voted down. The we love you talk and thank you website will go away and the gnarled teeth will be shown again. They cancelled a fleet party and I am suspect. When is the last time they showed us any good will???
People, please don't fall for this. It's the oldest trick in the book. Vote smart, vote NO!
