No need to patronize me, of course I've written my rep. And spoken to him in person. And I've spoken with CG. And a high-ranking member of the MEC, who told me that if he were me he'd be thinking about going to Delta (I'm senior enough to upgrade here). How's that for an inspiring message?
They've collectively heard from me loud and clear and the resounding response is that people like me, who are disappointed enough to speak up, are the minority. Captains I fly with that have similar relative seniority to me, and therefore usually get a line that isn't THAT bad and will never see reserve again, seem surprised when they ask what I think and I tell them that the scheduling is laughably sub-"industry standard." People here who haven't worked for other airlines recently and have become comfortable with the status quo don't even know enough about the rest of the industry to know what they're missing.
