I find it odd that management is not trying to find efficiencies and cost savings.

They don't ask the crews to conserve fuel or time, they aren't trying to minimize travel costs, they just don't seem to be doing anything. Crew Resource Control is more screwed up than ever. Crews sitting around doing nothing, and then we have flights delayed because of crew rest issues. This is ridiculous.

I would think there would be more of a push to save $$$ and make sure flights are on time. But nothing from a crew perspective seems to be different.

Our new CEO needs to bring in some real management at the puzzle palace.

This place is going from bad to worse.

I have to agree with you. No money to pay bills but no one seems to be cutting back. I was not kidding about them looking for more planes. Very strange. I think we will no more soon.

And that would be??

and the only place that saved any money was the MX dept. They were ALWAYS the first place that DMS started to slash when things go south. Remember the couple of months in 2010 before the first big loan payment was due? the mx budget AND staffing was cut in half. No other cuts anywhere else.

Her first name is Julie, last starts with E.

As for management trying to save money and being Inept;

Steve H DID send out an email to all pilots asking for ideas and I know from personal experience that he did reply to them with their take on those ideas. I know from talking to a handful of guys that many didn't send anything in.

I also know they opened the new crew bases to lower the cost of travel. There is only so much middle managers can do. Don't blame those guys, the blame lays squarely on one man. Smith.

She was great to work with. That was a mistake letting her go.

 

[Zoneload]

She was good at her job but there might have been more to her going away than we know...The 15th is 2 days away. That is when the big payment is due. Lets hope for the best boys and girls...

What was the reason the CP was let go last month?

I heard he quit, not was "let go".... what did you hear?

That's just it.....haven't heard anything. It has been unusually quiet. Normally there would be some info available regarding whether he quit or was fired.

 

[Zoneload]

I heard let go last month around the 20th...

The other CP, CC is a friend I mine. Didn't say anything to me about that though.

 

[Zoneload]

All I know is what I was told the day he left... He will be fine. He can go back to medical school.

 

[propsarebest]

You guys get paid yet?

I bet the work over at the "compound" is proceeding as planned.
