Jeremy Pepper notes that Alaska Airlines employees are aledgedly posting nasty comments in that guy-who-experienced-airplane-decompression-and-wrote-about-it’s blog. I say aledgedly because I’m still not sure an Alaska Airlines employee wrote those comments (it does look like it, though, which presents a PR problem either way).
Pepper renews his stance that companies should have a blogging policy.
Personally, if I were in charge of Alaska I’d publicly reprimand these employees and force them to go through PR training.
Huh? A blogger saying to reprimand employees for mouthing off on the Internet? (I almost recommended firing these employees, but that’d cause Alaska even more bad publicity, so I wouldn’t do that).
Yes.
Again. If you are a company employee you must be professional in your dealings with the public. Even when you think you’re being anonymous. Even when you’re posting on what you think is your own time.
These people were not smart. And, worse of all, they used company equipment to post (if the facts are what they seem).
At Microsoft we have a blogging policy. It’s simply “be smart.” Or, if that isn’t clear enough: “don’t be stupid.”
These comments are clearly covered by this policy.
I highly recommend to our employees to always be transparent about who they work for and to always behave in a way that’ll look great on the front page of the New York Times cause that’s probably where these will end up (they’ve already been in USA Today, among other places).
That’s a major part of being smart when posting on the Internet.
Oh, and if Alaska had a few “real” blogs of their own, we’d be able to see what “real” employees think about this kind of behavior and they might have been able to head this off. Instead, it’s just growing and growing (and getting worse cause Alaska doesn’t seem like they are doing anything about it).
Aside, but since we’re talking about Alaska Airlines. Why does Alaska put religious literature on my meal plate everytime I fly? I thought they were a public company? Is that something a public company should do? I can understand a private company like In-N-Out doing that (they put bible verse identifiers underneath their softdrink cups) but I think it’s inappropriate for Alaska to do, especially since Alaska isn’t profitable — they should take the printing costs and try to reduce their budget deficits. My own opinion, of course.

A public company is pretty free to invest in ways that seems suitable to it, and its customers, employees, or investors are free to react to those choices (as I personally have done in the past as part of each of those categories). From where does the idea even arrive that public companies should not do anything at all which is religious, or religiously motivated? If Alaska Airlines policies cause personal discomfort for you, then either buckle up and live with it, or fly some other airline. Should society somehow be changed so that everyone in a public place should never be upset by something they see or experience? Would such a society survive long?

I haven’t a clue whether their literature policy overall helps Alaska Airlines financially or not, or whether it helps the morale of their employees or passengers, or whether their shareholders are happy or not with the policy — and neither do you. Real data about something like that is hard to come by. Though if it were to upset a large number of their passengers, I expect they would have already adapted accordingly. And we seem to be moving away from the issue I raised about the fact that it was *religious* literature that you wanted to be removed. You didn’t raise one of the other innumerable ways in which airlines can save money — many of which would surely save vastly more money than the pennies spent on meal-time literature. It surely sounded like the issue was removing religion from public companies.

The fact that we’re debating it shows it’s a hot-button issue. Obviously they think that putting such a card on meal trays will increase business. So do you, I guess.
To me it’s just an indication of an expense that doesn’t increase the service’s satisfaction rating (certainly doesn’t help when your plane undergoes rapid depressurization) and because it is something that potentially could make quite a few customers mad (after all, these were Christian passages and I’m sure there’s more than a few Muslim, Buddhist, and Athiest passengers, among other non-Christian religions).
I seriously doubt it’d help their business out, but, like you said, it’s a minor expense.
I will say that I used to fly 20,000+ miles with Alaska and don’t anymore at least in part because of this issue. Southwest Airlines doesn’t force me to look at religious materials so I went with them instead.
But, there were other reasons as well. Price. Service. On-Time performance. Rudeness by employees. Attention to detail.
We’ve been flying mostly on Southwest lately and like it a lot better overall.

No, I have no idea if the policy helps Alaskan Airlines business. It’s quite possible it’s not significant to them that it helps their financial situation, or even that it gets them the maximum number of passengers possible. And you’re dealing with your own situation as you see fit, and that’s entirely appropriate. Though I still have little idea why the fact that they are a publicly traded company is of significance, or why their financial situation should be the bottom dollar in any consideration. Businesses run to make some complicated mixture of employees, customers and shareholders *happy*, and money is only one of the ways to do this, and perhaps much less important than it may appear.

As as far as the “religious literature” goes, a public company can do damn well what it pleases (public companies are still the private sector, you know), but it has to answer to customers and shareholders. Most hotels slap Gideon Bibles in desk drawers, gonna bitch about that? Free country, don’t like the “literature” policy, don’t fly the airline. If enough people, do that, they’d they be wise to change policies.
And even in governmental arena, the free exercise clause and the establishment clause has taken a leap and given way to wholesale religious eradication.

Everyone gets to choose their religion, but I think it’s in bad taste and generally insensitive to preach to those who have no interest in your decision. I don’t see it as a matter of legal technicalities, I see it as a question of showing respect for diverse perspectives. When I pick an airline for their cheap fare, and they spend some of their money (and my time) bragging to me about their management’s choice of religion, am I supposed to feel respected?

We switched from Alaska to Southwest a while back. I didn’t do this because of religious literature. Alaska was losing money while Southwest was making profits. When a company is losing money they cut services and benefits out. When a company is making money they usually have the resources to take care of their customers better. I rather fly with an airline that is making money, so they have the resources to take better care of me. It’s that simple.

Robert, I partly agree with you on this one.
As an agnostic, I find Alaska Airline’s policy to be annoying and inconsiderate. Also hypocritical, given what we’ve learned about their lack of kindness towards employees.
Interestingly enough, though, I don’t have quite as much of an issue with In’n’Out Burger printing bible verse numbers on their cups and napkins and such… primarily because they’re known for using quality products, strictly adhering to safety and health policies, and treating their employees with dignity and respect.
With that said, I don’t have a fundamental problem with public companies introducing religion into their stuff per-se… only when it’s either blatantly obnoxious OR hypocritical or as a substitute for more needed or appropriate efforts.
Oh, and I completely agree with you about Southwest. It’s gotten to where I’ll actually book my flights out of Oakland (even though I live less than 10 miles from SFO!) just so I can fly Southwest, knowing that I’ll get better treatment and far more on-time flights in both directions.

Dear moderatos, I’m sorry if I’ve written in the wrong theme. Please, don’t delete my post and move it in the proper section.
Day after day, minute after minute people keep feeing negative emotions (“NEs”): jealousy, pity, fear, anger, irritation, discontent, resentment, rage, perplexity, insult, malice, envy, anxiety, uneasiness, contempt, disgust, shame, revengefulness, apathy, indolence, grief, melancholy, disappointment, greed etc.
Is freedom from NEs possible? People are stuck in them so hopelessly that even the very idea of having freedom from NEs irritates them. When they imagine themselves without NEs, it perplexes them to think how it is possible to live without them. They believe that without NEs they would turn into a dead unfeeling thing. They are so addicted to NEs that they cannot even imagine something besides them, although many people had short outbursts of weak EPs, especially in the early childhood.
