Hi Airdancer,
Like I said I am new here.
I have heard about all the things that you have said.
I have to to admit I was and am apprehensive, but I have not been affected, nor have the people at my base or the people I Know at other bases by out of base assignments or changes.
There have been the odd out of base for the FO but the DH is being done on a duty day ie one of the 5 days on. Whether this is a change from the past I do not know.
with regards to mgmt, I can’t counter your point of view. I just have never had any decision questioned by them. I have only seen how they have managed other issues with colleagues at my base, and it’s a lot better than at EK.
You are correct in your comparison of the modus operandi of the company in that they are both into massive cost cutting.
I will stay as long as it works for me. But for the time being, yes, it’s a hell of a lot more refreshing than at EK. If it’s temporary or not I can’t tell.
