When you apply to join another airline, one of the forms you are often required to complete is a medical check, that has to be filled in by your aviation examiner of airmen. Speaking to one such examiner recently, I was advised that he is now very familiar with these forms.
To recruit and retain, requires respect for the person by the company. That respect in turn engenders in the employee respect and loyalty to the company. It's a two way street.
Respect includes but is not limited to, remuneration.
How do you know if you respect someone if you don't listen to them. If they don't listen to you, are they in turn worthy of your respect ?
If a company respects you, they will listen to your comments and suggestions and act upon them. If the company does not respect you, they will have someone visit the Flight Deck, or sit in an office and listen to you, then forget everything you have said the minute you part (paying lip service), or just churn out notice after notice telling you what are doing wrong, that you are all naughty boys and must do better.
A bit of respect would go a long way in the current climate here.
Oh, and before the scathing comments come flying in, how about we restrict the feedback to people who are actually employed by RBA at this point in time ?
