Nah, it actually happened a few years ago in rapid succession until someone was told to SIMMA DAN NAO
He ain't lying. I had that exact conversation with an ACP who wanted to know why I was logged in when I was supposed to be flying. Told them it was my wife booking a flight for my mother. Got the "Only the employee is supposed to be logged on speech," with a smarmy, I got you look. Told him I would be happy to give him my wife's employee number. Left with a mumbled, "Never mind about it," from him.
Except the new deltanet site can't be accessed for free on gogo
No offense, you need a better ACP. Bet you $5 the very guy who's giving that speech also has a wife that knows the password so she can list/travel on her own.
Lets be honest, do your wives really not have your own password for travel?
I've been railing aga.. eh, nevermind. Too lazy.You know, if you empower people to do the right thing, they almost always do. If you measure people only against metrics that account for small portions of their job, well, they will choose to meet that goal regardless of customer service, cost or lost revenue.
This is what drives me nuts. So much concentration on D:0. Everyone is going frantic. Employee groups are pitted against each other to make sure the delay is blamed on the other guys. But no one cares about the arrival time. Get there at A:+14 they even encourage. Us pilots have so little control over D:0, but if we have one minor issue, its our fault. It's the arrival time we actually have control over. Leave two minutes late and its the end of the world. Never mind the fact that I can taxi a bit faster. Maybe we'll cruise a little faster too. The stuff we actually have control over doesn't matter. We don't get a call if we're 20 minutes late, but closing the door 1 minute late, we have to answer to Congress or something.
He ain't lying. I had that exact conversation with an ACP who wanted to know why I was logged in when I was supposed to be flying. Get caught using a bot with DeltaNet, crap will hit the fan, and no one, union included, will help you out. We've been warned.
It's nice my hardest decision is what flavored salt I'm going to put on my popcorn at the FBO.
Unfortunately as captain you're about the same as a low level manager that's just expected to get the job done safely in the allotted time. You can't make new rules or really do much to save the day because you could be inconveniencing passengers with short connects.
Chia's right. No paranoia if they really are out to get you. He's giving good gouge. And stay off the social media.
But back to the point of the thread..."brake's set, you're move" sums it up beautifully.
You don't have to raise your voice in an argument you've already won.
The parking brake is the best safety device ever invented.

" I have an autonomous log in system which re-authenticates itself every 10 minutes and ensures constant log in status, available only to my home computer at any time, and for security purposes alternates its IP address between various places including Montgomery, Alabama. "
But if you lie, the gates of hell will creak open and then it's about to get really weird.
And not in the cool way....

Another way to explain it, was what the DGS sim instructor told the new hire I went through training with one day. The NH was worried about messing up and the repercussions. The instructor told him, "If you mess up just tell the truth and apologize." Pointing at me, he continued, "The captain could bludgeon me to death right here, and as long as he apologized for it, SJI wouldn't have a problem with it and would most likely say, 'Don't do it again.'"
Yup.
No safe word.
As a rep, have you generally seen that being the case?
