Senior managers saying that they do not intend to lay off staff until absolutely necessary. And still the pit bulls and trolls come out to attack our company. I'm very glad I don't work for the leprechaun.
Yes, we could be worse off, but lets not forget:
Our great company paid all HKG workers in effect 13th month pay and not the pilots - twice, so that's two months of pay.
They also changed the profit sharing scheme so in effect there isn't one.
They took $4billon out of the company in fuel hedging (I still believe it is an inside job)
The commuter roster is an insult of an offer
POS18 really is a POS. Look at the latest new joiners - flight instructors with a few hours on 172s. Most likely a good bunch of blokes, but not experienced pilots. Our managers devalue our profession with each of these cheap sudo-airline pilots
According to a recent FT article we have enough cash to last 6 - 9 months with zero pax. Our great company will use the current problems to come at us again and screw us over. Not because they have to, but because they can.
