Yep the airline will screw the FOs again. Tells a prospective applicant what kind of company they are willing to join. Buyer Beware!
I know we have heard the same ole lines from the same ole Comany Men that the airline has always hired DECs but with upgrade times so long and the FOs getting screwed at every turn why hire DECs? In the past they told us the FOs didn't have enough flying time or enough time with the company but now that is definitely not the case.
If the airline paid a decent salary and of course treated us decently the Muppets would not be in a position to hire DECs. They being the company they are would always hire DECs but that says what kind of airline they are.
Buyer Beware!
