Only Four Upgrades for the month of JUNE!!!!!!!!
This is so frustrating, skipping the month of May for Upgrades and the reason was: we need peoples on the line to cover the flying. And the month of June was suppose to have a big upgrade class!!!! A class of Four, sometimes i feel like going to SBY and beating up on one of them dudes up there. The funny thing is at least upgrade to replace those that are suppose to retire that you're currently holding hostage, upgrade to replace the guys that are suppose to go to mainline that you're holding up against their will.

Great, just enough to ruin one more summer for them.

Even if the airplanes were ice cold, I think he was saying they'd probably rather be sitting in their backyard watching their grand kids run through the sprinkler than sitting at 6B in Laguardia for 20 minutes waiting to be pushed back 50' so SCAMDAR will finally start the pay clock...

I can remember when they told us the TAMDAR was coming... I just wrote it off like the EFBs, figured it'd never show... Does the thing actually work? Sounds like a 10 to 15% pay cut to me....

PDT's guiding principal, only invest in technologies that reduce overall employee compensation.

Otherwise, speed tape it.
