Don’t expect too much public sympathy in your campaign.
Management has a very good tactical advantage with the flying public. Combined with ever changing fees, lack of service, low employee morale, rotten attitudes, and actions of TSA at security checkpoints has created commercial airline travel something similar to a Gestapo DMV. After going through that do you think the flying public is going to be sympathetic to our plight? F-No! They are going to still try to find the lowest fare online because they want to make sure they are paying the cheapest and not pay one red cent more than the next guy to go through that experience again. Management knows and uses this to whipsaw labor inline to their own means.
Yes the perceptions of all pilots from the flying public are different than reality. I just tell them what they want to hear. One guy asked me how bad are things for us. I told him now I have to fly twice a month to my second home in Oahu to work on the yard and pool because I had to let my house staff go.
Cheap fun but it’s the only fun I can afford…
