Lets say..........
Lets say you were KN and you put all you got into starting up your own airline. It aint easy, no one says it is, but you put your best foot forwrd and get it up and running. You aint got limitless funds to do it and cash flow has to be stretched to the limits as no one in aviation pays up front.
You provide jobs and training along the way and shoulder the burden when things dont go to plan. Yer customers smile one day and boot you out the next. You have to keep going and you cant please all the geezers all of the time.
As an employee, all you have to worry about is when your next pay cheque is coming. As KN, there must be thousands of things going around your head each night as you put the job to bed.
You might argue that if you make your bed, then you must lie in it but after all that has gone on, do you think that if no one bothered sticking their kneck out, then a lot of people wouldnt have had the experience of a job in aviation?
You joined, you flew and you got payed. When it all went wrong you lost a months salary. If you lost more than that, then perhaps you should have made a move earlier. The ministry of self importance raises it ugly head here when you read these posts. Lots of self opiniated, ego trip people who think the world owes them a favour and just because they have a bit of paper to say they made the effort to be a crew member:it doesnt give you the right to think that you are Gods gift to aviation.
Being shafted by a company is one thing, but shafting a company that has for the main part, done you some service is bang out of order.
Get a life.
