Just got back from the ATL. Saw about twenty DAL pilots on my walk from D to B and didn't see a single orange lanyard worn. Including the two that flew my flight home. Either they haven't received them or they're scared of the memo.

I just got done reading the new Flight Ops weekly update, re the new red, black, blue or white lanyard nonsense. Sounds like Team Orange is already having an impact! I can't wait until this blows up into a rally cry like;
No orange? No overtime!
No orange? No overtime!

They haven't backed off the lanyard policy, they've changed tactics & doubled down. Latest Flight Ops new letter/smoke up your a$$ from Dickson...they are incorporating the lanyard policy AND wristbands into the FOM.
Yet I still see guys making gatehouse PA's, cheery welcome aboard announcements with freakin tour guide info & weather channel diagnostics. I'm friends with 20'ish guys on a private chat group...gushing about all the GS available.
We are our own worst enemy.

I won't do anything that's not absolutely required of me....why should I?
JP Power, customer engagement....what's that?
No, I do not own a (Mgmt laden) backpack.

Don't want to fly a GS? Then don't put in for one. But to put in for one with zero intent of ever flying one, just to gum up the system could be taken very dimly by the company. We've done stuff like that in the past and it tends to blow up in our faces legally.
If you really want to legally make mgmt think about widescale understaffing of categories, either put in a GSWC or bid a reserve line and then fly GS over your x-days. With the payback day feature, a reserve GS works more like a GSWC than anything. In fact I wish it were coded differently in Daily Trip Coverage for that very reason.

I suppose that would make us a bunch of collective liars. i would tread carefully with posting stuff like this.

I am not saying anyone should do that though. Personally I usually don't even put in GS because I get the days off I want and I want them off.

Standing up a STRIKE COMMITTEE and initiating informational picketing will be very effective.
The being said, taking just one hostage changes the game. That would be the biggest mistake management could ever make.
Let's hope they take the high road.
