Some news from Abu Dhabi.
Etihad/Gamco.
What a way to advertise this place and attract qualified engineers to work for a so called 7 star Airline.
Mr Ian Williams and his good buddy Jeffrey Wilkinson (known as Jeff) just sacked an Australian guy because he refused to work on his day off, they expect to get western guys out here to work and treat them like slaves yes slaves. What a shame they are to the west and to the 21st century we leave in.
They want to force people to work on days off without any overtime pay. Because they are in the Middle East they thing they can get way with it. Shame on them for being x engineers.
They did that to make an example of him and scare every one. Word from the grape vine when the timing is write all the engineers are planning to walk out.
I would say fair play to them!!!
Anyway. Any body out there know anything about these 2 clowns????
He has taken a job he can not handle so he takes out his frustration on individuals, instead of listening to the qualified guys and change things, apparently a few months he sacked a contractor because he told him how he should do his job.
And HR they do not even know what a line operation is all about and have never worked 12hrs days in 50 degrees C and another 2 nights in humid conditions.
Maybe pilots should start questioning if these aircraft are safe to fly on if companies are ignoring Human Factors!!!
If anyone is coming out here make sure you ask HR to change your contract and be more specific about your roster as in 4 on 4 off shift system and also ask them to be specific about over time and get that as part of your contracts.
We idiots just took there word for it and now we are suffering big style.
But what comes around comes around. We will see what we will do in a few weeks time. You mess with fire you get burnt.
