Not if there is reciprocal agreement (in my view) I.e. if (say) the agreement is with JL, if we can fly with them at the same price JL employees pay to fly standby on JL (albeit with different priority) then OK with me

I'm no way ACE... and I'm happy we have full loads... what I'm unhappy about is the fact that I get reminded on a daily bases that even though we have full loads we can't make any money... and the fact that we just get treated better as ID on any other airline than our own....

Anotherday,
We are all aware that the airline is in the business of filling seats with as many full-fare paying passengers as possible. Normally, that is a good thing and something we all work hard to achieve (Profit share notwithstanding).
However, our staff travel exudes bureaucratic malaise. It is a system of arbitrary and byzentine rule changes, combined with unworkable technology and computer apps, imposed by managers seemingly out of touch with their front line.
How out of touch you might ask? Well, when you slur us by calling us ACE's (anti company employees), one is reminded of the "let them eat cake" slur muttered by another out of touch member of the aristocracy. Bravo Anotherday, bravo. You are an inspiration to us all.
Remind me again of the strategic genius behind your massive fuel hedging decision and how that bit of business acumen has contributed to the bottom line? Do you think any management bonuses will be held back for a year or two? After all, the Company is a business....revenues still need to exceed liabilities.
Anti Company Employees...indeed.

He's not management, he's that imbecile that keeps posting pro company rhetoric on the AoA forum. With his narcistic two faced personality why should he care when he's got few more years left. The irony is that we will read about him in an NTC in three years, and no one will even bat an eyelid.

Recently a CX "sponsored" survey was conducted re our Staff Travel sys and results were as expected (BTW same as the type results as the Food Court) - Everybody is not satisfied !!!
So I finally have a good tip to help in the "Time To Win" crusade; Stop wasting (throwing away) hard earned cash on Sisyphean surveys.
They are only worthwhile if you actually have even the smallest intention of following through and affecting changes to improve the topic of the survey.
We all know they will (think FOC's) not change a Fu***** thing. History proves.

Ya know we could just do what our passengers are doing and just fly on other airlines. Its both cheaper and better service.
