H3ll yes it matters how we treat our passengers. For one thing I get sick of the negative comments about the place I work at, the place where I have decided to put my stock and labor at, I get tired of the constant negativity around the gate areas well with negative comments directed at me just because I am wearing a uniform. But those are minor quibbles, I worry because eventually all those passengers who keep getting the big turd dropped on there heads are gonna look for other options. There's only so far we can drop prices and remain in business. Baldanza and Bendo don't pay my wages, those ****ed off customers do and I don't want to **** them off so much that they stop paying. Will it happen? Probably not, but these record profits we're seeing and wanting a piece of in our next contract, if those go away, we can kiss our big pay days goodbye too. Looking at the Delta TA I can only sit and drool at their pay rates and direct contribution.
Btw we'll be here for 25-30 years they'll be gone in 5. It's our company, not theirs. It's time to make sure they know that

I really hope Delta TA is voted down by the pilots. So that management sees anything that has a single concession in a new contract will not pass in this historically profitable year for all the major airlines.
Someone please correct me if this statement is not true in the majority of company cultures:
When a company cares about it's employees, it does the same for it's customers, or vice versa.
Great service is provided by happy employees.
We only fly because folks pay to fly with us.
These folks finance our salaries.
How much of the credit for the success of our company does management believe we deserve?

Voluntary verification and 100-hour verification replaced with a verification threshold trigger of 15 work days missed due to sickness per rolling 365-day period
Equates to approximately 80 hours for most pilots
2/3’s of pilots will never need to verify
Verified sick leave absence in excess of 20 consecutive calendar days does not count towards verification/medical release thresholds if:
due to surgery, hospitalization, or fractured bone prohibiting the exercise of your first class medical
Other serious medical condition at pilots option
· Rolling 365-day verification trigger is reset to zero for pilots who go on disability

If you are under 40, no matter what seat you are in, you owe it to yourself and your family to at least try and get on with a legacy such as Delta or American.
This management here will never recognize your value and in a few years a new management team will be manipulating your life. Management talks about being a team. I just see labor outsourced to the lowest bidder.
