As they say, it’s a small world. Today when talking to my insurance agent I come to find out that this particular agent’s husband works in scheduling for the pilots and flight attendants, never knew one person did both but this is what I was told.
It seems this employee who works in scheduling has over 36 years with our company and is currently earning what he did back in 1980, soon to be 1969 level earnings from what he’s been informed. Of course that depends on whether the company is still around. He was told come November Pittsburgh as well as other cities will be getting slaughtered with many pilots and flight attendants getting the ax due to severe cut backs.
This particular employee firmly believes that if the IAM stays its course this company will become the next Eastern, almost being the exact same story. Gee, guess this is why our captain is shouting woe from the mountain tops.
Funny thing, this employee is obviously in management and not only understands the IAM’s stance but agrees with it, this of course puts him on very shaky ground with his superiors who realize his feelings because he finds it hard to keep his mouth shut.
Yes I have a name, and even a title of this employee but obviously will not post it here.
So even people working in management feel the pain and are not all for what top level management is doing.
The one thing he said which was funny was how some pilots beg him for special scheduling so they can run their personal businesses, but things being what they are he has little sympathy for them and ignores those self serving requests.
Hold on folks we are coming into some severe turbulence and we are not sure if this structure was designed for such abuse without coming apart at the seams.
