No. It's fact...called "empirical evidence".
I worked with Most of the supervisors and managers in inflight for almost 5 years...4 contracts ( 2000, 2002 summer, 2002 winter, 2004). They got to keep their jobs by mounting up disicplines in their group to eliminate "heads".
I would know...what are your facts to dispute my statements? The f/as take the supervisor to get off the line. They wiill do anything management and labor relations tell themn to do...period. I didn't say they are ALL like this (there were a very few that were good people and fair-minded...few indeed.
No, you may be an empircist, which is one who relies solely on obervation to construct a theory without a hypothosis to guide the process i.e. strictly by trial and error method. But you do not have empirical evidence...that requires a large collection of hard data on which to base a theory.
You did not and do not have actual data on why F/A's become supervisors or their effectiveness in their positions. You have your opinions and your "passion" but you do not have facts and you do not have objectivity.
Your original assertion that "99% of the supervisors could not read the contract even if it was open in front of them" is falsifiable. In other words it is logically possible to do a physical experiment that would show the assertion to be false. That is the statement that I took issue with.
Oh and...Calling me Mrs Dumbflier....Ad hominem argument....always invalid in logical discourse.
And hard data shows that you used the term "winfall" in two separate posts so it may have been a typo, then again it may have been........reading comprehension. I did apologize for my sarcasm but we shall carry on with this if you wish.
Your "observation" is that most supervisors are traitorious illiterate management shills who slay flight attendants like innocent lambs. So please enlighten us...should the job be eliminated? Have you done research about the position at other airlines? Is it structured differently and more effective at other airlines? Is it possible that flight attendants and union representatives can also be contributing factors in the burn out of good supervisors? Anything progressive to say about this subject or are we just going to view this strictly through the window of the past and do a little more name calling?
