no, you didn't.
if you did, you wouldn't have cloaked it in page after page of calling me one name after another.
and since you and umpteen other people think I am what you have called me, then I'll act on it.
I get lectured on cyber bullying and then am subjected to page after page of unmoderated name calling.
tell you what, champ. I just managed to get a multi-page confession out of you involving ATL and at least 2 other DL locations.
you may be right that the rules aren't clear and that DL really did empower frontline people to make key decisions.
if you and your coworkers aren't smart enough to realize that the airline industry is intensely competitive and DL invests in its equipment for the use of supporting its own operation and to be compensated when it is used by other carriers, then the issue clearly needs to be looked at.
since I am an outsider, I wouldn't have access to the corporate directory or an ID that would get me into the GO and other offices, so you don't have to worry about a thing.
but let's just suppose I am not quite the outsider that some people here think I am including the very same cybermorons that are pushing for unions and then opening their mouths about how they ditch company procedure because they are empowered.
the best part about the internet is that it leaves a trail a mile wide. and it is pretty well open for all the world to see.
yeah you are right, the company doesn't have any control over your tools. a bag tug is not yours. If you think that I or anyone else over at the GO is going to believe your argument that all they needed for an engine change is a tug for "just a couple of minutes" then you are seriously out of touch with reality.
Kevin posted the rates that exist when tools and equipment are loaned. when a dumbass competitors employee posts that his legacy airline borrows DL equipment in order to work an ULCC operated flight at their station, do you not think my blood absolutely boils at not only the deception but the complete lack of stupidity by a few people in his city who have no idea how hard people at the GO work to generate revenue premiums that get them those fat profit sharing checks and invest tens of millions of dollars in ground equipment and support facilities to ensure DL's operation runs smoothly and not to have it lent out at no charge to work a ULCC flight that is ground handled by a DL competitor.
let me give you a clue.
if you and your union supporting ilk want to brag about the fact that I know nothing about the frontline operation, don't be stupid enough to all sing together in unison about how you break company procedure
you just might find out that I really am all of the names that you have called me - and a whole lot worse. A WHOLE lot worse. and those who scream cyber bullying might want to make sure their nose and the nose of those who they ally with - often in their own game of cyber bullying - is absolutely and spotlessly clean.
meanwhile, long before we spent the last 24 hours or so on a cyber tangent, we were talking about DL's plans to start LAX-PVG service.
given that publicly available data shows that PVG has been a success story for DL in Asia and that DL has indeed grown its presence there faster and with higher quality revenue than either of DL's US carrier competitors, I am looking forward to seeing DL take its Asia strategy from just competing in the most competitive US markets not just to/from Tokyo but also PVG.
when the whole alliance decisions in Asia were made in the last decade, there was every indication that DL would use its strong alliance position in China to grow its presence in top UA markets and break the historic competitive situation in China where DL was strong in Japan and UA was strong in China and HKG.
The same DL leaders that have worked to navigate the yen devaluation (and battle domestic low cost and ultra low cost carriers) are willing to now ensure that not only does DL hold onto its premium revenue and share position in Japan but extend it to other parts of Asia where the dead tail never was strong.
