rhey spend about €4 on your crew meal and no ovens on board. So you’ll be buying food at the airport or bringing it with you every day
it has all these massive expansion plans but their crew retention levels are so bad that they can barely manage to crew the planes they already have. For every 1 who I know who joins with I know 2 are leaving.
30 this month-45 days have start dates with ba. We will run out of cabin crew soon
What an eye opener. Thanks mate. Yes something has to yield if they are biting more then they can chew.I am a former Airline Corporate Planner and agree if it goes unchecked without the right structures and incentives to contain the workforce it could have disastrous consequences. If I find a better job, especially non low cost or one where upfront payment for training not demanded ofcourse I shall change course. Meantime I shall steer through these treacherous seas and see if there is an escape route should things prove to mirror what you suggest. Frankly based on how long duty hours one would fly from the WWAD base I would expect a better crew meal service option and not having to pay for any training if signing a bond.UAE GCAA is strict on regs and so I hope it shall be policed in favour of maintaining safety standards. Unfortunately from what I know has been happening at all other airlines here Crew Fatigue Management is an ongoing sore subject that has not yet been resolved.
They said WWAD base being far off their network crew wont ve flown as hard but not sure of the mandatory days off per month.If you find out from any pilots that lefy from the WWAD base please share their reality.
