Sure sounds like it. That issue with the huffer doesn't surprise me. You can call the dispatcher and have them notify your destination and half the time the station is unaware of the need for a huffer when you arriveMany times the huffer is inop! Then the station tries to borrow one from a competing carrier. Fun times. And it all falls in management's lap. Our major partners don't seem to be having the same issues as us, at least not to the same extent. And then treating crews like crap and violating the contract doesn't help things either. Hey but we got that " cut your hair" deal going on! ( I know, for a good cause).
 
You actually read a.net? Sad.


Unfortunately those guys can be good about giving you information that management is keeping secret.

I remember when Colgan lost it's US Airways flying, a.net guys told us before management. Pretty bad when on a conference call someone says "how come every one of our flights outta LGA in a few months shows a Piedmont Dash and not a Saab?"

They pretty much had to come clean.
 
Read that piece (SHV?) about mgt.'s visit and it apparently was newsworthy that employees there would like picnics, more things like that! How about fixing the frigging airline first!
 
Imploded, is the correct word. Almost all of our daily operational issues stem from poor decision making at the middle level and the organizational issues we face are the result of five years of penny-pinching catching up with us.

Good money spent wisely will always out-perform stepping over dollars to save dimes, which is what we do.
 
Half the CRJ's are flying with deferred FMS's the other half deferred water systems. The incompetence is at an all time high.
 
Its all the General's fault. He gleefully rejoices in the major carriers shopping for the lowest cost, forcing draconian cuts in maintenance and pay to the regionals while he (or she) reaps the benefits of profit sharing payouts on the backs of us who do the donkey work!
