Is it true?

This was sent to me this evening. The person who sent it to me said that every SkyWest FO has to memorize it. Is it true? If no memorization is required, is that in your FOM?

Man, those creeds are cheesy half the time the military does them, let alone anyone else. Although this smells like satire to me...
 
I've been out of SkyW for a couple of months and so maybe something radical happened, though I really doubt it. I was involved in the training department in several areas. I don't recognize it and it certainly wasn't something we had them memorize.

For your second question: Not in any FOM I ever read.

It looks like a slide they would have used in a safety class.

Congrats! Where did you escape to?
 
It's an actual photo of a document handed out to FO's on day one, at least as of a few years ago. They don't make you do anything other than not throw it away until you at least get back to the Candlehood. It was part of AK's CRM talk, don't make you recite it or memorize anything.

Reminds me of this (ridiculous) thing that Air Force "leadership" invented a few years ago.

At least the Army got one right:

The Specialist Creed

No one gets away with more than I. I am a non Non-Commissioned Officer, a beast of burden. As a junior enlisted soldier I realize that I am a member of an under appreciated, much chastised group of soldiers which is known as the ribcage, or perhaps pancreas, of the Army.

I am proud of myself and my fellow Specialists and will continue to bitch, whine and sham until the absolute last second regardless of the mission at hand. I will use my grade and position to avoid responsibility, accountability and any sense of presence of mind.

Ignorance is my watchword. My two best excuses will always be on the tip of my tongue "I didn't know," and "It wasn't me." I will strive to remain invisible and unavailable for details. Never ever volunteer for anything is my rallying cry.

I am aware of my role as a SPC and if you need me for anything, I'll be on appointment. I know the other soldiers, and I will always refer to them by their first name or in some cases derogatory nickname. On weekends, or days off I will consistently drink myself into oblivion, and I will never answer my phone. I understand that for a person in my hierarchal position, rewards are going to be few and far between, and punishment will always be swift and severe.

Officers of my unit will have maximum time to accomplish their duties, because I will be accomplishing them for them. I will kiss up to their face and badmouth them behind their back, just like everyone else. I will be loyal to those with home I serve, provided there's something in it for me. I am the last bastion of common sense that stands between me and the Army philosophy of "Work Harder, Not Smarter." My voice is a tool and my complaints are a weapon that I wield with unmatched skill and finesse. I will not forget, nor will I allow my comrades to forget, Specialist is the greatest rank in the Army and rank has its privileges.

Oh absolutely, we say it as a prayer before meals and you have to pass a fill in the blanks style exam on it or you get washed out of ground.

I vaguely remember this, I wasn't asked to memorize it.

My own personal "creed" re: flight operations is roughly "show up on time, fit for duty and looking sharp, do a good job and run an excellent airplane, keep the Captain out of trouble and run interference for the flight attendants when they need a meal break."

"Back on the bro…"

"Shaddup!"

"Well, back on the bro…"

"Shaddup!"

(Small world bro! :))

I don't think it's a bad thing to be proud of who/where I am, with the amount of work I've put into it, and have something to point to that reminds me of that occasionally. Apparently for some folks its unhip. To each their own I guess.

I have the maintenance tech's creed on my wall as well. So lame, I know. ;)
