It is good to see, maybe the pilots now will start controlling the throttles and the fly safe book !!!

Remember how ASA got a contract in just over 10 days of 35% ontime, I believe the taxi speed of a brisk walk, and being number 30-45 aircraft waiting on a MX guy, did not take long to tell MGT. that we run the airline everyday!!!!
 
Simple fix: get a clip for your ID then place company approved lanyard in Chief Pilot's V-File as it is no longer required.
 
I suggest everyone not wear the Lanyard and simply wear a clip that is provided by the Sida Office. If Lanyards are the focus of this airline, then I'm pretty sure we're gonna be making money this year...
 
Today AirTran pilots where so politly reminded that they may NOT where any lanyards that where not supplied by the company. I have had it. The temination of the probation FO's then furloughed when they got what they wanted only to be recalled 6 monthes later, the suspension of the FO for wearing his uniform on the way to work to drop off his family, and now they vote in ALPA and thats the rebuttle they get. I am normaly a low key guy but that has to take the cake. This MGT team has failed every effort to treat the pilots with respect. Dont treat me as if I answered an AD in a ATL newpaper to fly airplanes. They want to play by the book then that is what Airtran Pilots should do. A pax askes where gate D4 is. "Sorry sir my MGT won't let me talk to you about gate location, please see a gate agent" They want to play that way then fine. I want a ALPA lanyard more than ever now..........AirTran Pilots need to fly by the book (SAFE), Let me say it again BYE THE BOOK

"Just a reminder that the AirTran employee handbook states that only lanyards provided by the company may be worn."

By AirTran Chief Pilot who has began to sell out his fellow pilots.

This rule is only in the AirTran employee handbook. There are three manuals that them AirTranny pilots must adhere to with them HATZ.

-AOM
-FOM
-Union Contract

AirTran pilots had a good turnout for the ALPA vote, no HATZ week, and the picketing event. Now let’s see if every AirTranney pilot has the BALLS to wear their ALPA lanyard on the property.
 
Who cares about the lanyard you already won the vote.. Now my airline? Bunch of spineless p-ussies that enjoy having their faces stepped on while flying 95 hours per month with no work rules or cola


Exactly, 88% sends a message. Make as many rules about lanyards as you want. What about ALPA stickers on flight bags? I don't think they are serious, especially if EVERYBODY wears one.
 
Remember: next Friday... is Hawaiian shirt day. So, you know, if you want to, go ahead and wear a Hawaiian shirt and jeans.
 
Excellent!! Hawaiian shirt, alpa lanyard and baseball cap on backwards. Should I wear my jeans halfway down my a$$?
