While we’re on the topic of ‘budgeting’...
Just imagine for a moment how life would be if the the shoe were on the other foot. Imagine the crews behaving the way the company does. Asking for massive increases in pay and benefits every year. Abusing the system by taking maximum sick leave every year in accordance with the contracts. Refusing absolutely to ever fly on a G day and walking away from the plane the minute the duty hours expired. Never allowing the travesty of A,O and EXB and free reserve to exist and refusing duty changes given on arrival or at dispatch. Never accepting route shortcuts expeditious climbs or single engine taxi. Flatly refusing to negotiate unless a tit for tat demand is met and then reneging on any agreed deals. In short don’t they realize how much damage is avoided by the continuance of ‘good will’ ? Having the staff screw them at every turn, constantly, every year because that in effect is what they’ve been doing for the last 25 years at least.
To top it off throw in a good measure of simply lying about things. Imagine being sued by a bunch of instructors from Adelaide over outright lies and promises .. breach of contract.. losing the lawsuit (inevitably) and then employing a bunch of crew who despise you from day one!!!!
These ridiculous missives from the DFO or anyone else just serve to humiliate themselves... sprouting off the same old tired worn out phrases the previous management waffled on about. The world already knows what a nest of vipers they are.
Just digging a bigger hole for themselves methinks.
Threats and abuse with no clear plan to address the issues... what’s new? Yawwwwwwwnnn!!
The gormless DFO ,despite murdering any semblance of dress sense , seriously looks like he’s waiting for his next thought to arrive 😜
