People like Johnny aren't sitting here bitc*ing on chatboards, they are out there doing their jobs, as they are paid to do. I'll bet he never whined about seniority integration, stupid management, a crappy IT conversion, low pay or even the fact he was born with an incurable defect.
Maybe all of you have something to learn from him too.
How do you know?
1. Are you accusing those on these boards as ignoring their shift, on the computer instead of working? You, perhaps, know something the rest of us don't? Perhaps you are talking about the workers at the end of B-concourse in CLT, are you accusing them of shirking their work to be online?
2. Johnny worked for a store that enabled their employees to do their best, contra-wise the preppy-boys in Tempe. You are assuming the management groups are the same. They are not.
In a realistic environment, bitching works. It allows someone to blow off steam and actually likely will lead to solutions. I doubt Johnny has a problem with seniority integration, stupid management, never had to worry about IT conversion, I bet his pay is low, but, he is living at home, his company is likely eligible for "certain state funds" and considering his "defect" and your post, we should only be so lucky to have Johnny replace you. Just kidding.
You want to see an environment where no one bitches, but should, watch the computer tapes of the Delta L-1011 crash in DFW. Both the FO and FE remarked at how "black" the cloud was, the lightening, but no one bitched or used a cuss word and many, including the cockpit crew, died as a result. Had just one person yelled, "go around, jerk!", some 127 people would be alive today, including the person yelling.
Do you want to remove a last opportunity to save an aircraft or an airline just because you are depressed at the comments? You wish to restrict opportunities to turn things around?
Are . you . that . messed . up?
