The most important aspect of Airline Management

[shon7]

What would you say is the most important aspect of Airline Management. If all Senior Airline Managers were to be sent back to school to learn the "right way" what courses would be mandatory--

Employee motivation 101
Finance 101
Operations 101
Employee Benefits
....

I think they should just consult with General Lee - he knows how to make money in the airline industry! (TIC alert)

Ethics and Morality 101

Agreed, and I would like ALPA to sit in also!

How about a class like "How to abolish your overblown ego, utilize sound business practices, and effectively manage people."



Will probably never happen.

Another good class for management AND ALPA......

I think an honest relationship with employees and a moto "we are all in this together" attitude would be most beneficial.


inclusivescope,

Hey, I don't claim to know it all--but I can question it. If I am wrong--please show me and I will listen, but I don't have to agree.

Bye Bye--General Lee

General,
Maybe ALPA should adopt the motto "we are all in this together" rather than the other two they prefer

1. "I've got mine - screw you."
or
2. "We will all hang separately"

I showed you where you were wrong. You said ASA and CMR made money because the numbers were manipulated. I showed you where you were wrong.

Inclusivescope,


There is no doubt that Comair and ASA made money. Congrats. But, as the analyst said---Delta can change that in a heart beat. They could change your routes around to tinbucktoo and you would make no money. They could lower fares on your routes--and you wouldn't break even. They could also start charging you for things you don't pay for---like reservations, airport station usage (at delta stations), and other things that could erode your profits quick. That is the key--and you are starting to realize this now I believe.....

I never said "I got mine, and screw you...", and I also thought we should have one list---just not date of hire. If you can agree to that--then we have a deal...

Bye Bye--General Lee

They could do that, but I don't think they would. Here at ASA, we could go on strike and send DAL into BK - much more likely in my opinion. How do you think DAL would handle an ASA strike for 89 days General?

 

[General Lee]

I don't think that would happen, since in Chap 11 Delta would petition for ASA to have the same salaries of their peers---namely Mesa. I bet Dalpa and Delta will come up with something that the DCI MECs will agree on as well. Delta knows ASA is pi$$ed--and they have to solve that one too. They will throw some expansion at you (via the Dalpa agreement) or maybe a merge with Comair to appease you--but for less money. They may even throw in a staple or something to get your younger pilots interested. It will all take place behind the scenes---and Bob Arnold will be happy after it is all done.


Bye Bye--General Lee
