Dress Code

The individuals who make up the FAA are government employees. You have
clearly stated your disdain for government employees more than once in these
forums.

My belief that most federal employees are underworked and overpaid is
not "disdain". It is something, however, that could be easily and
swiftly addressed, under any new administration.

I bust my ass. Well, my back anyway. Literally. I've had many jobs and lost
many jobs. Not due to my "work ethic" but to my insistence that I, and
coworkers, be treated with dignity and respect. I am not in the military any
more and I don't expect to be treated like a recruit because some lazy
asswipe is on a power trip. If you think that's unreasonable, then maybe you
need to think long and hard about your work ethic.

All of the things I complained about with my other employers that got me
fired or made me quit, and would have gotten me fired or made me quit this
job were it not for the union, are finally being recognized as legitimate
beefs-not just the whinings of a lazy, worthless, ungrateful leech of an
employee. It has taken 20 years for our union to get through to our
employer, but they can't deny the problems any longer and are finally doing
something, reluctantly, about them.

Think I'm getting any recognition for my efforts? I'm not. Think I care? Not
really-as long as conditions improve.

You know, that's my problem with unions. They keep people employed who
shouldn't be employed. Now, I don't know you, don't know how you work,
but there's something wrong with that mentality. If it takes someone else
to keep you employed, you need to think long and hard about your work
ethic.

This is one of those things I hate about being a pilot. I'm a poor man in a
rich man's hobby. Some people live in order to work. Some people work in
order to live. I'm in the latter category. I'm a type "A" personality, but
not when it comes to money. I prefer the simplicity of punching in, doing my
job, and punching out. That's when my life begins, adn I enjoy it immensely.
I'm in good health and condition for my age (other than a back problem
that's work related, but manageable, so far). I prefer jumping off a
mountain with a hang glider strapped to my back over taking my life savings
and investing it in some marketing scheme that could go TU on me at any
time. People like you will never understand people like me, and you will
always look down on us, but you couldn't survive, let alone get rich without
us.

Now I remember the other reason I stopped communicating here. To many
assholes.

Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time, and annoys the pig.

Have fun. Fly safe. Go **** yourself.

privatize the FAA is necessary, I will be very surprised.

I fail to see how privatization will fix the problem.

Is that why France considers itself the fashion hub of the world?

I don't know where you're working, but I've never been treated with
anything but. Instead of complaining about your boss, justs find a new
job. Do it yourself, instead of letting the union take care of you.
See what I'm saying?

Thanks...I needed a good laugh this morning.

Insubordination is refusing to obey orders. No one ever said you can't
make fun of your CEO. Ours has really bad hair, and we all know it and
have made comments. It doesn't mean we deserve to be fired.

If there is a corporate policy against such comments you could be
terminated. It also falls under harassment which is certainly a hot
button of recent years.

Harassment may be against company policy (at least for the lower echelons)
but it certainly isn't illegal/a-legal-issue (which is the topic...isn't
it?)

I have no quarrel with my employer (after all, I'm self employed), so if
the freedom to impunge my employer were taken away from me, it wouldn't
affect my daily life. But I think it's an important freedom, and part of
what makes this country great.

In most corporations bad mouthing the corporation is grounds for immediate
termination as is insubordination. There is no such freedom as you have
described it.

Particularly in a private setting.

Very well said..........................................
