Um, not always! I’ve seen “accidents” at my airport when these people don’t follow directions! Also, there’s a tug driver. And tow bar. All could have issues. It isn’t rocket science…..unless you want it to be.

Yup, that pretty much sums up how ridiculous it all can be! All about people that make critical decisions without once having been in the shoes of those it affects.......

Good analysis! No longer bitter, just better than where I was I recall some job fair guy once saying furloughs build character! Maybe once or twice, not more. And I bet he was never laid off from his HR job…

Haha, I got 4% this year plus a nice longevity package after more than 8 years. Every year! And, I no longer work as a pilot. That got real old after 4 airlines, multiple furloughs and having to start at the bottom each and every time! Not everyone lucks out. At least I had a backup plan and it really worked out for me……did I mention I also get two pensions when I retire next year? Which airline,even legacy will guarantee that for you? I think we all know the answer to that question.

Right, and whose fault is that? Offering early retirements, buyouts, reduced hours, layoffs, furloughs etc, all kinds of cost cutting to the very bone and now, 2.5 years to the date,they suddenly realize it was a wee bit too much and they do t have the staff for the inevitable ramp up! Heck, my cat would make a better CFO! Im so glad I got out of the airline business (not aviation, thought) 11 years ago. I have bpnever ever been furloughed, earn longevity and get two pensions to boot! Tell me which airline will guarantee that to their pilots and/or workforce? ZERO. Now instead of being part of that up-down cycle, I get to see them churn through station managers every 6-8 months! It’s quite interesting not being a part of that zoo. And one of the better decisions I’ve made in my 30 plus year aviation career. Just sayin’……

About time, too! Bean counters are just that. And usually wrong, too…..see what they did during the height of COVID and what’s happened this year because of their over zealous actions 2 years ago. You reap what you sow and the shoe is on the other foot now.
