You know what they say: the squeaky wheel gets the grease. First it was crew meals. Problem: They're not good so we're not eating them. Solution: no more standby food, go get your own! Here's a novel idea, lets get better food we'll actually eat! Didn't see that one on the BB, only saw how cutting crew meals would reduce costs. Didn't seem to save any jobs.
Now we get a reduction in yield, which people have been asking for since I started 2 years ago. Of course they're saying on the BB how it's a good thing and when flying picks up it'll go back up. Hmm, how bout we leave it where it is and raise the daily rate to even up the pay? Didn't see that either.
Didn't Fred Reid just say they wouldn't cut pay because we'd have too many underpaid employees vs the right amount of well-paid people? I bid down to 14 or 15 anyway, so if management wants to keep any goodwill from me they'll keep the reduced workdays and up the daily rate to make us more even with the other Fracs (CS and NJA).
