Rev Bedford's Sunday School Lesson To RAH

[biggerguy]

All I can say is......WOW!
What a friggin attack on your supreme leader! Your all a bunch of arsses. You complain that he would post such a letter, then go on a public forum and do your own posting. Bunch of freakin hypocrites.
I am no fan of RAH, as you can imagine (xjetter), however I think your Bedford is a man with solid moral integrity (in this issue).I am by no means an angel, but the factual numbers he described are overwhelming. Imagine your complete pilot group being eliminated in a day. Now that may be a pleasant thought for us at XJET, it is sad to think that this many unborn children are destroyed, daily! Whether your religious or not, this has to be stopped. His letter may have only taken a few minutes out of his day, and you all seem to be "gettin the job done" so give the guy a break. If no one was to speak out, who would speak out for those that cannot?

Why don't yall focus on coming into my yard, and get your CRJ program going. Because believe it or not, if you screw up, we'll all look bad!





Wrap that rascal!!!

IMO Bedford was "out his mind" to put that in a company newsletter...but it was an in-house memo, on a non-public website. KEEP YOUR DIRTY LAUNDRY IN-HOUSE.

Do you RAH guys really want Bedford (the one who delivered all that growth as manna from heaven) to resign, or are you just trying to publically shame him away from his views?

BTW, the man has a point...

Some one just sent a copy to the local news paper.

 

[John Pennekamp]

Is this a hoax or did an airline CEO actually send this out in company communications?

If it's true, he should be fired. Everyone is free to their opinions and beliefs, and for a company CEO to preach a specific religion or morality to its employees, this makes a veiled threat that your job is in jeopardy if you don't subscribe.

I hope the ACLU files a law suit.

Most of us at RAH respect BB's leadership as a CEO. I always read his weekly meetings, but I feel that he went a little to far this time. Am I pissed about this personally? Nope! But there is a time and place for everything and this was neither. I have no problems with his view, but I would be our job if we went to HDQ and starting yelling PRO LIFE , PRO LIFE.
No place for the work place.

I knew it would happen. I'm sure there are a lot of pissed off women in Indy that work for us. Maybe some men too!

 

[RAV152]

Like I said before company communications should be kept IN HOUSE. If the original poster began this thread while employed with RAH AND is on the pilot seniority list he/she should know where to air this out among his colleagues (RPilots.org). If not they should keep their opinion to themselves and refrain from publicizing questionable and controversial company communications.

I will not state my opinion on the subject for the simple reason of not diluting my point. This should never have made on a public board.

 

[ReverseSensing]

This should never have made on a public board.

Sorry, gotta disagree with you there. Lots of prospective RAH pilots visit this board. It's probably a good idea that they are aware of the potential religious propaganda (if this memo is legit) they will be subjected to at work if they choose to someday go to work for RAH.

Pennekamp has a point. Does a CEO of a secular business have a right to prosthelytize to his employees without repurcussions? I don't think so.

 

[172driver]

I personally made sure the RAH Board of Directors was made aware that this thing was circulating. I also voiced my disgust and made sure they knew I, and all I can persuade, will be selling our RAH stock.

Is masturbating mass murder too?

 

[tyuwerty]

Whenever a person hits send/post on an email or memo, it should automatically be assumed that it is in the public domain and could therefore end up anywhere.

Regardless if you agree with Bedord or not, the publically traded company which he runs is not his personal pulpit to preach his personal/religious agenda. There could easily be an interpretation that if you don't agree with his views, you would be a second class employee.

I would be suprised if he doesn't get severally reprimanded by the BOD, ACLU and the local labor authorities.

 

[ReverseSensing]

If it is, I'm going to hell, along with going blind and growing hair on my palms.

Wait, if I'm not blind or hairy-palmed yet, I'm probably safe.

Probably not going to hell, either. So I guess it's not mass murder.

Wow, what will the fallout be when 172driver and his rich pilot friends sell there 400 shares of RAH stock....Im not sure if Wall Street will recover.


I wish, I had a ceo who would make statements like these. It's a big F.U. to political correctness and the aclu. Plus it turns all you whiners into hypocrites.

PS. I predict this to be the longest thread of the week.

 

[Mesabi Miner]

Kudos

I always wished that guy would have stayed around and continued to run Mesaba. Lord knows we'd not be in the position we are today had that been the case. Kudos to him and his Memo if indeed it's not a hoax. More people should have the fortitude to speak the truth. And, as an aside, the abortion stats of 4,000+ per day in this country is correct.

[Swaayze]

Jesus freak? Idiot? Because he opposes abortion and isn't afraid to say so and attempts to get support for his cause? Please.

This was completely inappropiate for a company communication and he should be reprimanded, but let's not go holier-than-thou on him here.

 

[Alchemy]

Who cares what the message is. He would be just as moronic if he was using his status as CEO of a large company as a pulpit for Pro-Choice politics. To me this simply shows poor judgement....

 

[B727FA]

It *is* legit and it *was* put out for public review (the "Update" is posted in public areas in HDQ). It's fair game to post it here.

He absolutly has the right to think, feel, believe, say, write, print, etc. these things...but NOT in the format of official company communication.

If he wants to have a weekly post of this nature, there needs to be a different section. Someone posted an idea of an update entitled "What I think of..." and then the "real" COMPANY UPDATE. Then, those who want to read his thoughts can...and those who want the news can read the real memo.

Interesting how he doesn't mind using the "liberal media" for all his press releases.

The sad thing is that he doesn't care if we rant against him; he'll just say he's "taking the heat for the faith and all the little babies." (What a martyr.)

I wish he'd get off the cross, we need the wood for a new hanger.

 

[SkyBoy1981]

He just wants you to keep voting Republican so he can get more tax breaks.

I predict it gets moved off the Regional forum to the non-av chat forum.
