A pilots job at ASA is very laid out. The pilots know what they need to do and on the most part do it very well and accurate. I don't think the pilots are doing anything to sabotage the operation. They are just doing their job and letting the system work.
So where is the mess coming from. How about a management that doesn't understand what it takes to motivate workers. On average the ATL work force is some of the worst around. The work ethic is very bad here. The pilots travel around enough and the workers at the outstations do a very good job.
The workers in DFW were paid the same and the job done out there was 100 times better then ATL any day.
Management thinks they can over work and under pay the ATL worker and they are completely wrong. They need to make working on the ramp and the gate a fairly well paid job and respected. They need to make the job respected enough to the point that the worker does not want to lose their job. They like it. Instead the ASA worker can care less.
Unlike BL and others I hear what the rampers and gate agents say on the bus and around and they don't care at all. They get no respect and they will give none. They don't care if they lose their job tomorrow.
If they make the job a respectable, fairly paid job then they will get people who care and then a well run operation.
Here is the new trend I see among the pilots, they continue to do their job very well and professional but many are starting to not care if the job disappears. The pilots have had enough time to think about this career and many are realizing it is not worth continuing with if ASA makes this place a low paying job with no respect.
This delay of the contract I think is back-firing on them because many are prepared to move on if this doesn't turn out to be a fair deal for the professional services ASA pilots give.
