Letter from Mikey / FLOPS

[Voice Of Reason]

Haven't received anything yet...anyone else? Any bets on what it says? Considering his history and shattered ego he uses to guide this business, I'm betting on it being out of seniority layoffs, or the veiled threat thereof. (THIS IS ONLY MY GUESS before the rumor mill starts). He's pulled every other page from the "We can do whatever we want to you" book, so it seems the obvious and inevitable approach from such a scumbag.

ps-- for those who didn't listen to the weekly announcement, he was very "forlorn" about the recession he has deemed us in and will be sending letters to our homes explaining the effects this will have on each of us.

It almost sounds like this letter is analogous to the captain sounding the alarm to man the life boats and abandon ship. How many guys are we going to loose from this now?

All the fractionals are hiring, and growing. He is now saying we will be shrinking even more. He is trying to blame all his screw ups on the economy. who could possibly be to blame for a company that is shrinking when everyone around us in this industry is growing and buying planes? Maybe we are loosing customers because of record disservices. Which is caused by low moral, which is caused by stress, not knowing if there will be a job in a month, which causes low immune systems, which causes more sick days, which causes lack of properly crewed planes, which causes more passenger disservices. It is an unfortunate endless circle.

NO, THIS IS NOT AN INVITATION FOR YOU, MR. B19 TO OPEN UP YOUR PIE HOLE. JUST SIT DOWN.

NO, THIS IS NOT AN INVITATION FOR YOU, MR. B19 TO OPEN UP YOUR PIE HOLE. JUST SIT DOWN.

remember, B19 is a propaganda opportunist and will try to milk this with his drivel for everything it's worth. count on it!

 

[nomore]

just my guess

Forced overtime and all vacations cancelled.

B19 will blame the Big Bad 1108 for all the disruptions to service, the loss of customers, Mikey's cold and the not to distant end of the world ... can't wait to see what he says. uke:

Just another waste of money to print, and mail something to the pilots when he could have just said it in an email to all Blackberrys. I hope it is his resignation letter.

 

[jetwash]

It is just part of the propaganda game he is playing now that the negotiations are getting to the money issues.

Just a little FUD to be sent home to your family so your wife can help talk you into flying a broken airplane :laugh:

All about the pilots...

I guess this letter is speaking only to the pilots in the company according to you folks. Because there can't possibly be any other employees that work at FO. Let alone, ones that would be affected by a change in operations.
Typical.







Now, I'll go back in my hole as you'll probably request of me in the coming posts...
Also, typical.

You can organize as well. Its not my/our (pilots) problem if you want to get sht on by the company. We have benn getting sht on and we did something about it. What are you doing about it? And do you really believe what mikey has to say in a letter?

I have not seen the letter. But I am sure it will talk about cut backs in aircraft deliveries due to tough market conditions and the economy. Truth be told, he has to accomplish two things, FUD because we are getting to the money part of the contract, and an excuse for why he is loosing market share in a growing market. If he can't crew his existing aircraft, then there is no way possible that he can crew new aircraft. The only smart thing is to postpone the new aircraft delivery that would only be sitting uncrewed causing us to loose even more money. When we loose 17 pilots in one week, lord knows where we will be when we finally negotiate a contract. For that is the only thing that could stop the mass exodus of employees.

We see right through this letter, he could have used the Black Berry to save money. What a con job.
