Sure, profit sharing, yadda yadda, we all have different motivating factors. Whether is money, job satisfaction, etc, that's all personal and individual. That's not the issue. The issue is accountability, or lack thereof. We all know our jobs, and they know we're supposed to be at the plane, and get it ready for departure. It's what we do. Its our job, go point A to point B.
The problem is: why are we now required to hold everyone accountable as a 3rd party contractor? Is it the fact that someone notices that we as pilots actually keep the operation afloat?
Or is it that Delta has no idea how ineffective the operation really is and someone from ASA (BH possibly?) wants to give Delta some raw numbers as to what's actually wrong?
When a plane pulls in, it must be cleaned, catered, lavs serviced, etc. Everytime, all the time. Its not a new concept. Every time I jumpseat on mother Delta, I dont see their pilots calling for fuel, catering, releases (even though their pilots go to the gate before they board the plane), but the below wing operations seem to go smoothly.
Point is, the below wing opeation needs to be held accountable....and we shouldn't be the ones to do it. If we're late to the airport from the hotel, we're accountable, if we blow a bag cart over with jetblast, we're accountable. We're held accountable for our jobs, they should be as well.
