Same for me oldxfr8dog, I was there 14 years. Got tierd of all the lies, b.s. and hearing the same things from pax. "Your Airline sux". I would look them right in the eye and say, "Yea, I know, I work here".

It's YOUR career! It's YOUR employer! It's YOUR opportunity to make a difference. Who gives a $hit if if people are complaining! YOU just do YOUR part to make it better! I bet sooner rather then later things would begin to change. Attitude is infectious. If we believe we suck then that is exactly the experience we will pass on to our customers... Stop making excuses and just get it done!

Sorry no intention to offend just had to let that out.

I couldn't agree more!!!! I think it is great there are so many of us willing to go out and try to change things for the better.

But sometimes Andy, things start to grind you down as xfr8tdog stated.
Go to HP today on Compass and look at this past weekends ops performance.

We have yet to meet our goal for 65% D0.
Our arrivals 14 is stuck in the 70% range -no where near goal.
Our Dept 05 are also way below goal.

We still cancel on average 7-12 flights a day. Granted some are for weather but look at those that aren't. We cancelled one for a crew member that didn't show up and more for aircraft stuck at the outstations with MX write ups. What is going on at the outstations that is grounding so many planes? 10 flights a day is about 1000 customers at a 70% load factor. That's a lot of people getting the shaft.

Trust me, I want to and am willing to do whatever it takes to see us grow and prosper, but we got to start doing things differently.

Look guys, AWA ain't half bad in fact I have enjoyed my time here and considering the alternative I will take it!!!!! Things were bad under the Frankie era and he made sure that every employee was miserable. I do feel that Parker is moving in a different direction than Frankie. In any event, you can't go wrong getting on here.

Part of our performance problems come from having ZERO wiggle room in the block times. Even if you push on time and have 5 minutes of taxi time over what they have figured, you're going to be just barely on time or late. Couple that with having 30 minute turn times and it's no big secret why our numbers suck.

Not offended in the least! I salute your loyalty.
That said, you don't work in a vacumn. MANY times I have called crew sched and given them a heads-up that we were going to time-out before our late inbound a/c could arrive, deplane, and reboard. Their response? More than a half-dozen times? "Call us back when you time out". Considering that meant at least another two hours after I timed out before my people could depart and a reserve could take the flight, Frustrating!
I really got discouraged digging in that mountain of manure looking for a pony...
Who gives a $hit if my people are complaining? ME.
You wouldn't believe the lengths I went to to please my pax.
As I said, I respect your work ethic. It just isn't returned by those guys.
That brick wall has far fewer dents than my head...

Re: "....I was sure you were going to have me shot over my last post"
I was , but I ran out of ammo!!! Seriously though, I agree with what you say that only we can make the difference and I admire your and MK 82's positive attitude. We need more of your type here. But the only ones that gives a rats a$$ about what goes on out on the line are the ones that are out there on a daily basis ie us, F/A's . agents and techs. The people in the Tempe Tombstone are either oblivious to what's going on out at the airport, or just refuse to do what needs to be done to really make this place be what I feel it is capable of becoming given the proper leadership. Later....
