Flight management is really tackling the pressing issues of the day. Not the overmanning, the future of flight ops, etc, etc....lets allow Delta Skymiles into the crewlounge to push their sub-par program? In the past, management wouldn't allow anything about ALPA's Pilots For Kids charity in the ACO, but this? So dumb....

It's like there is no one in charge over there.

No one is in charge over there. They’ve all lost their collective minds over the fact that a majority of the pilot group didn’t let them carry on the great FedEx pilot legacy of robbing those that remain on their way out the door.

Had a dude from flight management actually tell me they thought the reasons for folks resigning was because TA1 -DIDNT- pass. Seriously out of touch.

I anxiously await Marriott and Hilton and all of the other hotel chains showing up in the AOC and presenting their plan for us to receive just the standard business traveller rewards as we layover in their hotels. When do you think management will bring those guys in?

Dudes were resigning due to the coordinated harassment from the "silent majority" (wanking minority) group members and flight managers for being "militant 'no' voters"...

Some of the Hong Kong guys reaped lots of rewards while they were displaced during Covid.

If we got hotel points, I would never have to pay for a hotel again. Very disappointed that we don't.

I wasn't HKG, but I bet what they got was nothing compared to what they earned considering what they went through. A lot of those guys routinely spent a month or more at a time away from home due to the quarentines. The stress that they and their families went through back then was incredible.

Yes it was very rewarding to be displaced from their homes for an undetermined amount of time. Having their families live in hotels or airbnb's with just a suitcase. Kid's with no formal schooling. No car. Oh but they got points and status! so worth it!

I was merely pointing out that they got to keep their points.

Yes, I know their lives were disrupted. I wasn't commenting on that. My comment was about the points, and that they got to keep them.
