Employee Just Emailed CEO and BCC'd over 100K Employees

[EM2]

Who is John Galt?

Precisely!

[LBDamned]

I hope you are right.


OTOH American Airlines said today they have 1200 new hired pilots all VAXed and ready to start next week.

Yeah right.

There are warehouses full of pilots just waiting on standby

[Fate]

I have not balls.

Ok then.

Start next week - NEWLY HIRED - after cancelling 1,200 flights this weekend for lack of staffing.

Do YOU really want to be on a plane next week when the supposed 1,200 new pilots start flying?

For many, it would be their first pilot jobs because because the industry as a whole would not be able to facilitate an exodous of 1,200 existing pilots from other airlines to meet AA's 1,200 fantasy.

Good luck - steer clear if American Airlines for a couple of years.

(The number is not even logically based).

Ok then.

[tigerpan]

So it's ok to force something onto someone else just because you agree with it?

[Fate]

Ok then

New to the company doesn't mean new to flying. Still have to have an ATP and probably a type rating, depending on position. Are there still lots of pilots furloughed? Getting recalled from furlough count as "hiring" enough for a press release? Or moving a contract pilot to a full-time position count? Lots of way to play that game to look good in the paper.
And if you're leaving one major aerospace company due to no jab, it's not like they're going to get picked up by another aerospace company, who will have the same jab requirement. So moving to a new job in that same career isn't probably an option.

I have not balls. You are not different those snowflakes.

what? I wasnt even addressing you, I quoted your post regarding the J&J shot not the one about balls.

Obviously we have a language barrier

Unless you think this is complete bull crap, why redact the name of the company in the part of the email you posted. Call them out for what they are and what they're doing just like every other company. Rather than posting their name which could lead to massive loss of business due to consumer boycott, you literally accomplished nothing with the post by keeping them protected

Sorry, I am not the one that wrote the email and and I would like to keep my job. But I'm sure there are other discussions about this email where you can read about it.

I get all that: but 1,200?

I can rationalize the reasons given, but a shift in the industry in just 2 week's time of 1,200 pilots, seasoned or new, seems far-fetched.

They'll formally reprimand him for inappropriate use of company resources, put him on probation (meaning he'll be terminated immediately if he steps out of line again), and zero his bonus or raise this year and next.
If he had done it to organize a strike or some other consequential action then there could have at least been some offsetting benefit. As it is it was just a dumb, childish move.
Keep your powder dry.

LOL, read the OP again. He's walking out in Dec.

[sigstroker]

Likely this person is a highly trained professional and getting terminated rather than self-terminating would make getting employment in his career more difficult.

Doubt it. If he looks for work again it will be at non-mandate companies. They won't worry about terminated-for-no-jab.

I hope you are right.

Yeah right.

LOL, not next week. Some by the end of this year, but prob not ready to fly for some time in training.
