well it would seem to me as if you are just a bit naive, ITS REPRESENTATION ELECTION TIME, do you honestly think they are going to be nasty right now?
well I am an actual NW Flight Attendant so I have a pretty clear idea how nasty it can get..
(we had our contract gutted by PFAA)
so!
can you puhleeze stop it... with the naive comments!
thanks so much!
The nastiness will come later..
that could be a scare tactic too, just like they threatened to outsource all our jobs and then turned around and got a court order on all of us (Flight Attendants) to stay on the job..
(I still think it was a bluff to accept the pay cuts)
do we always have to live our lives in fear over something that may not happen at all?
is that written in stone somewhere?
"THE NASTINESS WILL COME"
or what?
I just honestly cannot believe how someone would possibly want to work for an airline without a union contract, there are reasons we have them.
it is whatever the majority decides to do, people form their opinions based on how they are treated, and since I have never worked for DL, I have to reserve judgement at this time!
(but obviously they see it another way)
I am keeping an open mind!
when you keeping portraying yourself as the victim.. you will always find a way to be the victim..(you will always need a union to protect your job) so can we please step beyond that mode and understand it is possible there may actually be a healthy and supportive working environment or at least consider it is an option somewhere..
because for garsh sakes you are starting to get sort of depressing!
But hey, like i have said a million times, you take what delta gives you with a smile on your face and it not the best, not the worst, not the most fair, not the most evil, its just ... ok. Good luck with that, I dont think for one minute if we were to choose non union at UAL that we would be treated better by mgmt.
based on my observations, I would absolutely see why you may need a union.
but this is not UAL, its DAL.
and btw, lets not forget delta is now ran by NWA mgmt, HeLLo, anyone home????
the funny thing about that...R.A, he was one of the most respected Leaders we ever had and I personally liked the man.
(he seemed fair to me, at that time)
Just please, dont b*tch, when it starts to get nasty, nobody is going to have sympathy for you.
Dont worry yourself one bit about that.
while the working environment itself on the aircraft was pretty much for the most part pleasant.
while I never felt safety was compromised...
I never felt supported or respected at NWA.
(that is exactly how NWA made me feel as an employee and human being) even though I always told them the truth and was dedicated
*especially by the base mid level Management and some support staff. They just werent a nice bunch, but it was the "norm" they were just nasty people and oh well deal with it.
this hogwash some of the union activist are spouting off about being able to go in and deal with NW Management by just walking right on in is nonsense, they have always insisted we take someone in there with us at all times..because they just were never helpful people.
if that is the road DL chooses to go, a former NW style, that will = fail.
I do not think that is going to happen or they would have already been unionized.
regardless.....
I believe in second chances...(for everyone)
and..well, forgiveness.
and also strongly believe people
can and do change in the
right environment that is focused on positive aspects.
(I am already seeing that happen for myself)
I dont need or ask for your sympathy, if one thing I learned at NWA
it was to be a survivor.
(and in a very strange way...appreciate that)
Anyhoo!
:hugs:
