I think furloughedagain's post hit home with a lot more people on this forum. The responses since pretty much drive home the point.
Light Years,
What point did it drive home? The only point I got out of it is that the two of you are bitter that your no longer employeed by Airways. Which is something that Furloughed's compadres might have been able to deal with had they not had their heads soo far up their a$$e$.
Ask your friend, FurloughedAgain, who is reponsible for allowing the contracting in this company to take place, and after he answers that you can ask him/her why we little WO's were told in not so many words to take our Flow Through(which would have employeed him/her at a WO in the event of a furlough) and use it for toilet paper. And the pilots of this company think Dave has no vision, if that is'nt the pot calling the kettle black.
Look, I feel for the two of you, I really do. But listen to yourselves, your crying about a hat?!?!?!? I hate Mesa and the rest of the contractors as much as the next person, but before throwing stones in their direction, or at any other Express carrier, you should worry more about your peers who are not that much better. I've seen wayyyyy too many Mainline employees that look just as bad as any Express employee for you to sit here and preach.
Trust me when I say that I proudly carry the image of a US Airways Group Employee, but sometimes I just can't wear the hat. Its annoying and gives me a headache. Is that any reason for FurloughedAgain to attack me or does he have other motivating factors. Like the inability of his peers to have done the right thing along time ago?
Or maybe your true anger should be directed at your own Union for standing by and doing nothing while ALPA secured at least half of the new RJ seats for their furloughed folks. I would have loved to fly with some mainline FA's here at the WO'd. At least 80% of the ones I meet are fun and cool and do their jobs with class.
In closing, just remember that you can catch more flys with honey. If you want somebody to look or act a certain way all you have to do is ask nicely. Not tell them what a piece of garbage they are.
