You Need
look no further than 1-800-DEAR AFA to see the reality of the situation. That's their Code-A-Phone number for the union hotline. Unfortunately, you need a Flight Attendant employee number to have it playback to you and it would be improper to put one up for public consumption. Suffice it to say that you hear a little rhetoric poo-pooing the latest news reports and deflecting any sort of stares towards them in other directions. Otherwise, they're talking about filling out surveys regarding post-tramatic stress and how it's affecting them. If you fill yours out in a timely manner, you even could win one of 25 CD players!
Talk about heads in the sand!
Now, let's go back to college for a minute and re-visit Mr. Maslow and his hierarchy of values. They work equally well for an individual or an organization. Remember, basic survival is on the bottom and altruistic work is on the top. When times are good, you always flow from the bottom up, and vice-versa. To anybody that has a stake in this, you're going to fall somewhere in this pyrimid. As the situation gets more serious, the upper sections get discarded and attention paid to the more basic principles. Right now, I'd say we're about at the bottom two in the stack. To my friends and colleagues in the 844, I'd say that I (we) haven't forgotton about you and never will, but we have the airline itself to care for right now in order to have a place to recall you back to. BTW, I still truly believe that recalls will begin in 2003. UAL is not going to shrink, because we can't. We have to stay the size that we are and slog and fight our way out of this fix.
And we will.
