QS Goose Is Fair and Balanced |
Here at Save The Golden Goose we get hundreds of emails a day. Today the fans that want the Goose to have zero profit and minimal sustainability were out in force. We have many minds to free before we can turn the tide against the Lupees epidemic. Some viewers had very polite questions that were in the interest of The Goose. The best one was, "Could we please have some questions for management?" This is truly an encouraging sign. Here are the "Butt Right" Questions - Episode 1:
- But capitulating to the union is always a possibility, right?
- But you are just following the advice of a union buster, right?
- But discipline is on the rise, right?
- But the union reps no longer have a seat at the table, right?
- But you are hiding information from the union, right?
- But none of you work 14/10, right?
- But labor peace is more productive than strife, right?
- But the wages in the union contract are less than the cost to the owners, right?
- But our prices are very competitive, right?
- But we can afford to recall pilots while demand for shares is down, right?
- But we can sell an unlimited number of cards, and go to 32 owners per aircraft, right?
- But we can maintain maintenance availability and refurbish the entire fleet all at the same time, right?
- But the union has matched the good-faith action of carrying unneeded pilots with an equal measure of good faith, right?
- But this is a strategy to bust the union, because no one would ever speak out on their own, right?
- But you know the right thing to do, even when the union will not show up to do business, right?
- But you still respect us, even if our representatives act like clowns, right?
- But if there wasn't a union, you would just fire all of the fatigue policy abusers, right?
- But all the union letters to the competition and the parent company have changed the way you do business, right?
- But everyone knows that the 350 hours I fly a year are really grueling, right?
- But you must understand... my parents were divorced and I am so accustomed to playing Mom against Dad that ONE of you will just give me anything I want, right?
- But you are looking out for my best interest too, right?
- But you know that spending too much time online lowers IQ and anything I post at night is probably under the influence of some sort of substance, right?
- But you know that even though I am captain qualified I am so afraid to speak with anyone in the flight center that I'd rather let a raving lunatic speak for me, right?
- But you don't pay me enough to read anything you send out, right?
- But who cares what the owners think, right?
That should get you started. Thank you for the submissions. Now, a bonus section... "Butt Right" Questions for QS Goose:
- But, you are just a member of management or a consultant, right? No and No. I am your William Wallace. You are asleep.
- But, what makes you so special that you think you can actually represent the analogy of the company as a Golden Goose, right? I am not special, other than I read everything - everything - and I am responsible for my actions. I even voted for the Source of Lupees. I know that I must not sit back and let others speak for me, and if my kids are going to go to college and if I am going to retire then The Goose must remain healthy.
- But, the union said it had to be you, so that's true, right? I think what they are trying to say is, "Please do not consider for a moment that The Goose is one of us who is unhappy with all of the bullying."
- But, if you're one of us then you have been reading the message boards, right? Yes I am and yes I do and no I am not him, I actually care about YOU.
- But, you know that at some point you will have to answer to the content of this blog and will have to say something for yourself, right? Yes and yes, I am ready. I will say, "It was worth every minute. Honk It, Baby - Honk It!"
This may not be enough to please or satisfy you, but it should be enough to keep you contented but somewhat mortified.
Honk!
