the more time and verbiage a company puts into “ sharing it’s ethos and values” the lower my expectations of them.
the race to the bottom is well advanced and one or two operators trying to reverse it will simply be overtaken.
industrial action is the only option and it will merely slow it down rather than stopping anything.
The way of the world unfortunately.
Profit used to be important, but other things mattered as well: employees, clients, suppliers and company reputation. Now, there is only profit.
In aviation, most large companies are owned by entities that have no interest in Aviation, employees, clients etc.
Profit is their only interest, with massive lip service given to all the “virtue signalling” “causes”.
Common themes include massive “top heaviness”: far more managers than “front end staff” (the ones that fix/fuel/load/fly). An obsession with “out sourcing” (travel bookings/payroll). “Shifting money” to tax havens. (Lots of Aviation in the Caymans apparently.)
