I've literally never seen morale lower at this airline than it is right now. Scary.

On the forum or out on the line?

On the line. It's scary.

This airline doesn't know how to deal with bad news. Our entire history has never had pilots who have been presented with bad news. There was only one route to go and that was down in terms of moral.

Not to mention the bottom half of our airline is staffed with people who've never dealt with bad news at ANY airline.

Things will be fine. Netline WILL get sorted out...eventually. It won't be the death of the company.

Look guys, I understand things are not what they once were. That sucks! People have a right to be p!!!ed. Our pay troubles are hopefully temporary, our scheduling bugs are hopefully temporary. I am not as happy as I once was but we are the frontline. We can control things more than some think.

Captains especially, we are the guys who set the tone. If the first thing we start start complaining about is our problems what kind of tone do you think that sets for the entire trip for the whole crew? Everyone is already in a bad mood because of our current issues and thats understandable. What we don't want to have happen is that the mood affects our performance out on the line. Frowning faces and ****ed off FAs lead us down a road we do not want to go. We are here to do a job and thats provide a service to our customers. We do have challenges like this airline has never faced before but that should NOT stop you putting on a friendly face to our customers and bringing down company moral.

Again, we have every reason to be upset about the current situation but our moral does not have to be completely driven by the company. Go out there and try to put on a friendly face and have a great trip. We have great crews at this company and I still show up to work when I have to and put on a smile. The last thing I try to do is discuss our issues. It's hard not to but I want to have a good trip and leave that BS behind.

At the end of the day we have a great job. We get paid to fly around and socialize. We will all be moving on shortly. We have a few hiccups to deal with but at the end of the day I am going to try to keep my trips a good time for everyone. I know some of you will be say this guy is smoking something but haters gonna hate. Welcome to the internet.

As a former Compass pilot I was embarrassed to read the letter your MEC chairman sent out to all of you, talk about bashing morale.

It really showed how ineffective the whole MEC has been over the past year or two. Its probably a good thing they are leaving.

Current management has done nothing to openly violate the CBA. If anything they are trying to hold things together.

The choices about IOCC and Netline and how they would reflect the CBA or violate it were made almost 3 years ago. Look to those management pilots if you want to point fingers (they are long gone and knew they would be at the time they signed it). I fly with them regularly at Delta and this is no longer their problem. You guys have an awesome group of people at your airline. Been at much worse places. Maybe a new MEC wouldn't be the worst thing. You all will be to your next step soon enough.

What if the person that's supposed to reply to your email couldn't be at work because of the sever weather? It could be the company just being retarded but we'll never know. Like I said, as long as it gets fixed in a timely manner it should work itself out. Things can happen anywhere. I gave my previous experience just as an example. I think what's important is that the company focuses on getting the front of house job done which is flying the airplanes. That's why your at that job right? What if your paycheck was spot on every time but you had a 50% cancellation rate? Would that be acceptable to you? Because I don't think it would be acceptable to the customers...
