ASA Short-Term Perfect Attendance Program

[mxaviator]

Ha, my kid's school has a similar program. Except they have better odds of winning.

 

[Max Q]

Really? It's only worth 5 TV's and a pair of iPads to them?

Must not be very important.

 

[Abernathy]

Basically you are being rewarded for flying sick. couple that with our widespread reduced rest pairings and you have a very dangerous airline culture. They're trying real hard to wind up on the news.

This really impresses me....Spent many years working for a national TV news agency and I kinda thinking of leaking this one

 

[Baronman]

Let's call it what it is....an attempt to get those who would otherwise be on a sickaction to come to work.

If you are sick, nobody is telling you to come to work are they?

I could see the news spinning it just as badly back on pilots...."After the commercial break: Are pilots so desperate and untrustworthy that they would risk our lives at the outside shot of winning a TV??"

 

[the palm]

I just got an iPad and a TV so no real incentive for me.

Oh yeah, this will play huge right along side 10s of thousands of people dying in Japan, I can see it now; "Company offers employees iPads and LCD TVs for attendance." I bet most Americans wouldn't put up with this sort of promotion...

Ahaha...Piers Morgan interrupts his interview of the Japanese Prime Minister, he hushes the PM, puts his finger to his earpiece and intently listens....Then announces the breaking scandal of ASA offering TVs and Ipads to employees who make it to work 10 weeks in a row! The humanity, the gall! Bloody hell!

 

[Stifler's Mom]

Sounds more like a local story for the AJC, seeing how much they love ASA.

 

[bigshooter107]

Maybe ok for the folks at Taliban HQ, not so much for flight crews. Damn FARS!!!!!!

 

[LazyLightnin']

"What are my chances of winning here?"

-"Not good"

"You mean not good like 1 out of 100?"

-"I'd say more like 1 out of a million."

"So you're telling me there's a chance. Yeah! Alright. I read ya."

 

[Av8trix616]

Hmm. a 1 in (a lot) chance of winning an ipad or tv, or 4 days of *guaranteed* rest/recovery/time with family for minimum sick time usage. Gonna have to sweeten the pot more than that for me. Not looking forward to sharing an a/c with sick co-workers. TFAYD!

Oil over $100, number 3 economy in the world in shambles, CMR and Horizon shrinking.....ASA pilots find something new to complain about...Maybe we should just hand out Midol and tampons at duty in....

Oh, why don't you just sue us all for having a little fun?

Wait, that was just a figure of speech, Joe. :nuts:

 

[OPECJet]

I'm now officially disappointed I did get hired there...

I think I now know why though. When we were waiting on finger prints, one of the other interviewees saw that "attendance counseling: sign on the wall and asked me what I thought it might be. I told him it was where I'd be spending a lot of time after I hit the line. Desk girl thought it was funny at least....

Now that is funny shiiiiiiiiizt!!

This Isn't just for pilots.

And when CAL was a better company they used to have a drawing for one Ford Explorer a year for perfect attendance.

Many companies use these kind of incentives.

Yes, lots of a&ps have gone to DAL and lots of pilots will leave when hiring starts. ASA will have to be competitive to staff. Timing in the contract could work out for is like last time.

That's not a bad idea. At least it will help with the pain and bleeding...

True... But you know everything revolves around us. We are the Alpha and the Omega!!!!
Most of the time I would be joking with that statement. But this time I believe this is being focused at the pilot group.
