Apparently many, many people at DL read your posts. (You have a memorable handle). But they don't engage you, doesn't that say something? Possibly about the tone of your posts?
I'll give you my story in a few short lines:
- Nearly 40 years flying on the airline
- Strong bond with the airline
- Strong respect for DL employees and DL tradition
- Strong disdain for current management
- Grew up in a place and a time where a man's word was his bond
- Find the current "bait and switch" practice of frequent mid-year benefits changes to be repugnant
- Concerned that current management are willing to risk long-term stability of airline for short-term goals
- Not easily deceived by crocodile smiles and hollow promises
- Will give anyone a fair chance, but won't let someone burn me twice
- Believe that a company who advertises using a statement like my signature line ought to live up to the rhetoric
"Be who you are and say what you feel
because those who mind don't matter,
and those who matter don't mind."
