Longing,
With all due respect to you, our valued customer, thank you for such a long response. It surely validates to me your caring for the employees and thus U.
Yes. I agree. U and many other airlines were going "out of business" and things had to change. What didn't change, obviously is this mangement insatiable appetitie for concessions, and looking at that element as THE formost and neverending avenue to turn a company around. How uningenius of this new management that has somehow captured our airline and has made the employees hostage to their "whimsacle" thoughless business plan.
If management's aim is to take Me out of the "game", as you have put it, then I will be waiting for them ready on the extreme LEFT side of the "table".
You say to look at the strengths of the "other side", what strengths? Show me one, and I will start from there. Do I want the co. to survive? Come on? That is a question that should not be pondered. I have been here my entire adult life. Not be pro-management does not mean I don't want the best for our company and to survive. I just would like for someone to make a decison and throw the bums OUT. We will survive, because it is the will of the employees; not management.
Labor has done everything that was asked. Folks have lost their livilihoods, and those who stay on struggle not just financially, but with emotional and family problems because of the pervasiveness of this task of sacrifice.
How dare they ask again, third time in 1 year! Its appalling.
This management has been given the duty and sacred trust by the employees through their sacrifices to make this airline successful. If they are not capable of this endeavor, either they need to remove themselves , or someone needs to remove them. It is not Labor who decides whether a company lives or dies, or succeeds or fails. Management makes the "blue print" and we in turn as Labor implement that structure.
If that fails, then we face that reality. I have fought for success of our airline for a long time. THere are some things in life that are truly out of your personal control.
It is deafening for me at this point to have someone sit on the "outside" of this matter and explain the realities of our airline to the meployees and say what needs to be done, and give us the "sultimatums" that we have heard repeatedly from this management.
Frankly, my friend, ask me, first, if I understand the realities before me...... before explaining them to me.
