This is the perception now, that TD are failures. But,.. all u
brothers out there,.. you can change that. Be professional in your
job. And a few years down the road, TD is recognised as a
Professional Job.
I not yet drive (going to) But I am thinking my Mission is "To
deliver passengers to their desired destination in a safe and
timely manner". macham corporate mission.
That perception is only from a vocal minority who bother to
write in and complain.
Most reasonable people know that there are many Tds who have
single-handedly raised a family, bought a house (even private ones,
I know a few - ya la those days not now, now so high price) and
send their kids to uni. And many of them also gor no formal
education.
I don't like the term professional, because if you term someone
a professional than you must pay him like one. If you gonna term
TDs as professionals then we are among the lowest paid
professionals.
It's good you have a mission but don't get carried away by it,
be adaptable. Not all pax will give a good trip. In this age of
technology, complaints are just an email away.
After getting some of it or terok pax, then you'll realise it's
not always possible to deliver every pax to their desired
destination.
But again I stress, things here are not cast in stone, everyone
drives to their own perception, strategy and own time. What is
suitable for some is not suitable for others.
I have a system, not mission in the sense. I don't overcharge, I
don't cheat by adding extras, I try to take the shortest and
cheapest route where possible.
However in doing this, I think I am allowed to at least choose
the kind of pax or type of trips I wanna take, which under the
rules are unacceptable.
