Unlike you, I signed a contract which clearly defined my tasks: fly an airplane from point A to point B, get paid and go home.
My contract did not include the right to stick my nose into company politics and look for it’s faults.
YOU Sir clearly never understood what the flying contract world is about, this is why you are now angry, bitter and broken hearted. Yet Sir you have a huge ego: SENIOR FIRST OFFICERS ? Were you flying at Lufthansa, Cathay or Emirates ? Because they do have this title. VNA never had and does not have a SFO position, so quit making up stuff. Some FO’s are more experienced than others, but so are Captains. So what’s next: senior Captain �� ? I am truly sorry you signed a marriage contract with VNA, expecting love and affection which ended up in divorce. I signed a simple contract which gave both parties the possibility to quit with a timely notice.
P.S. I do agree that things there have changed (for the worst). If I would warn someone from going there it would be the dramatic decline in cockpit standards and basic flying skills !
Have a nice day.
Feeling amazing after your answer, thanks. Same as i thought. Anyway, at least in my case, when i work for an airline, i don't fly as a mercenary. My duty now is to advise all other pilots what they will have if they join an airline like this. Specially SFO's ( Senior First Officer, in General, a First Officer with more than 4000 hours flight time. No need to be in Lufthansa. You are welcome ) Because they are looking for them to fly 787 and A350, under the promise of a fake fastrack upgrade opportunity. You go to VNA as VNA as FO, 99% you will leave VNA as FO. This is the real thing. As i said in a comment before, the SFO's who survived to the firing process 2 years ago, still waiting for their upgrade, most of them on A350. So, you will go to the end of the list, and considering that these guys are now the last option for the company for being upgraded ( only if they really really need, same as always happened ) so you could imagine when would arrive the upgrade chance for the new A350 FO's... As i said before, 99% NEVER. And this is my warning and my duty with other colleagues. If the reality sounds bitter for you, am sorry, but i will not sweet your ear talking about VNA, honey... Have a nice day too!!
