Quote:I would guess the name for the crew would be something more like safety crew, or something similar which would already be in every airport Union or Non Union

 

So the answer for a "stupid job" (FOD crew) is to simply rename it, then it's alright?  Is it not more cost effective and efficient to tell all employees that work on the flight line that FOD is part of their job?  Because that's really the way that it is in the real world.  I know for a fact in Navy aviation that FOD is not only maintenance people's responsibility, but also aircrew and/or ship's crew.

 

In Dakota's example, the worker was just too lazy to do a simple task that would have taken him just a few minutes and very little effort.  Instead, the worker used the "it's not my job, and if you don't like it call my union steward" as justification.  The sad part of that example is that lazy piece of [BLEEP] can't get fired because the union will protect him and it ends up in lost productivity and ultimately lost dollars.
