American Hiring Freeze
#402
All great points. There is this strange mindset in management and ops that there can be no changes in the way of doing things. There are so many inefficiencies that can be fixed in scheduling and utilization but it takes making some significant changes and they are afraid to do it. Even our union has tried helping them out to see the light. I don’t know if the right change will ever happen. It will take hiring somebody from the outside, a visionary.
I've been here only for 14 months, and it's so damn obvious that things need to change somehow. I don't care the type of business you're running, but for a place with these amount of employees/departments......you need happy employees that feel somewhat proud of where they work, see DL/UA. A job is a job I get it, still, you can feel the apathy and negative energy everywhere and that ain't cool.
DL/UA still hiring this year and running classes, and we gonna have a hiring freeze for how long?. God forbid we grow.....but it seems we gonna shrink a little bit?. I do like and support being cautious but holy s* what a contrast with the other 2.
Don't get me wrong, still a great job/career, but management is supossed to fix what's wrong and help the airline grow, not just squeeze the operation to make extra $0.99. The NB trips are getting worse everty month with that PBS optimizer, but maybe this happens at DL/UA as well.

That is it, I'll say it, I agree with you.

This place has only gotten better over the past 20 years I've seen the operation run. If anyone was here in summer 2018 and 2019 you know exactly what I'm talking about. I will say they need to increase connection times in CLT especially, as a 35-40 min connection unnecessarily raises everyone's stress levels (pax, agents, etc).
I have to laugh at the bid sheet dig, literally everyone says the same thing "the worst bid sheet ever!" lol.
