It’s on the same maturity level as hijacking the PA at a department store and making fake announcements. “Paging Hugh Jass. Hugh Jass to the front desk”

Haha. That’s funny! Some people need to just lighten up.

That would be awesome to do over the airport PA. Great idea.

Add in PPD. It's management's dream to fool pilots into believing they are management rather than highly skilled hourly heavy equipment operators. Fortunately, I think it is a minority who fall for it. Most pilots get it.

To be clear, the scam is asking us to do industry leading work for industry trailing compensation. There’s stuff in those classes that really would help set the brand apart, but asking us to take on additional responsibilities while stalling contract negotiations is like asking your wife for “extras” while explaining to her you won’t be celebrating her birthday or your anniversary this year.

Ever notice that it’s always “make me millions & then trust me to take care of you”, & never “I’m gonna take care of you & then trust you to go out & make me millions”?

Perfect metaphor here, NC should incorporate this into their messaging.
