This is a company run by bullies & managers who could care less about the Health & safety of their crews. I honestly can't believe we haven't had an accident yet.
Its been due....we just had lots of close calls.....but alarm bells wont ring while the managers talk about "how safety is number one priority" lip service rings in every memo. Say it enough they believe it till there is a smoking wreck somewhere.....and then they have to explain.
There is nothing they can do they can threaten and cajole and make nice .....u just dont turn up sick.... have a record of it at all times and shove it up their ass when they dare bring you in....had a manager twisting himself in knots as i beat him verbally over the head that maybe we should follow this up with letters to CAD, deny me an upgrade would be a letter from me to CAD. Questioning doctors orders to not fly....they thought they could intimidate..and I am just laughing at him. One stupid manager once walked up and said you dont look sick at sign on when i had the flu a week earlier....."umm you stupid or something? I am at work thus I aint sick now" laughed myself right in his face. If it was meant to be scary it wasnt my fellow pilot was trying not to laugh at the desk either. High IQ manager that one was.
