I am at the moment making more money on a regional jet left seat than I would in the right seat or even a lot of cases in the left seat of a LOT 787. And I am living in a country that is not really much more expensive in terms of living costs...

I have no problem with the fact people speak polish in common areas as it’s theyr national airline , but in the flight deck I expect that everyone should speak the same language so to be on the same page. Unfortunately most of the briefing are held in polish and generally there is a very unprofessional attitude and bad Crm from old pilots.
Not to mention that as non Polish you ll never have a career here and you will never be upgraded. Confirm toxic environment not worth for what they offer.

Hi there guys,

could you please elaborate on that? I already heard these stories many times about polish crews. Is there some examples? It seems LOT has a CRM culture with old captains and old senior cabin crew members that come close to "CRM-hell" in Turkish carriers.

Thanks!
