What helped me was keeping a journal - not a Dear Diary journal - actually just a list of the changes made to the company and our work rules and operating parameters. Individually, these changes may not amount to much. But collectively, well, it's another matter.

Here's a given: you'll be told that every change that's made is for the company's benefit and so, by extension is to your benefit as well. Maybe. But not necessarily. Make a list on your iPhone or your laptop. Keep it short and simple. Changes, comments from mgmt, assurances, forecasts, promises. Here's three for your list:

9/5/13 DAC to buy portion of FJ for 185million, FJ to be separate
from FO
12/5/13 DAC finalizes purchase for 195million
12/19/13 KR's end of year announcement:
Deanna now finance and operations
Mike Silv now revenue, sales, marketing, contract, cam, strategy


This is an excellent idea from the other thread. I started doing this when they announced the purchase. My list includes the differences in benefit packages as well.
 
A good idea, I agree.

But, just remember some of the Flex managers may be out of the loop on what is going to happen and are just being used to put out "feel good" info.

On the Flex side - nothing - health benefits are worse than before along with loss of company share purchase - strapping in tight for the next few months

Painting the planes in Options Livery with a differnet colored pin stripe.

Word is 6 Globals, 16Day rotation. You will have to interview for the position.

Furloughed Options pilots will be coming to FJ after 1/28 with DOH.

Get ready for the 28th.... We are going to be screwed....
 
If you have to "interview" for the job you already have, that is a really bad sign. If you aren't competent, they should fire you. If you are competent, normal progression.
 
I dunno none of that sounds legit. We've already hired some and it wasn't DOH. 16 day rotation is ridiculous and I don't see why we'd have to interview in order to get a lousy schedule.
 
Being a separate company was great while it lasted. For the record, that was only about a week before they began to blur the lines.

The IBT will promise D-o-H integration, no fences and anything else to keep from getting the boot. What really happens remains to be seen.
