Anybody remember Spy vs Spy?
It was a Mad magazine cartoon. One spy was always out to get the other guy, sort of anything goes to their own benefit. I sometimes feel that way about pilots and regional management. I’m cynically starting to wonder if I should be like that now. Just shotgunning apps out to a bunch of places that I know will take me, getting interviews lined up, H€|| even accepting CJOs and getting classes scheduled that I really have no intention of showing up for if there really is a chance to stay at Compass long enough to get the TPIC I need to be competitive. I’ve never been in an industry where there seemed to be as much of a worker-bee management divide as the 121 world. The guys (and gals) I fly with are great, but I wish their was more of a sense of teamwork with management - ALL 121 management - than this Spy vs Spy cr@p.

I guess my point is that I appreciate the level of cooperation we have, even if it is less than desirable. That gives me some hope that something is imminent as they claim.
Like most of the rest of you, though, I don’t hang my hat on hope. I’ll be putting out a targeted shotgun blast as insurance soon.

Not to wholly disagree with you, but I used to work for BNSF, and that management/employee relationship was openly hostile. I can’t begin to tell you in this limited medium how blatant and direct the face-to-face angst was; let alone the passive and the behind-closed-doors stuff. I was led to believe that the other major railroads were far worse.

You know, sometimes these memos just feel like propaganda, it's hard to believe them... I was really surprised when they put out this video from HQ...
