Biggest problem is a few troublemakers with loud mouths and unfounded rumours.
Quite a few entitled characters but the vast majority are great to work with.
Money is better, great pension and a redundancy agreement at last.
Let’s look at the last one first…. We had a redundancy agreement before Covid, didn’t stop the company ignoring it. Before you say the union agreed (without a vote), let’s look what role what the former head of the CC has taken since.🤔
Pension, was good but been equaled now by many employers.
Money? Well I’d rather have a long happy life in retirement with the pension mentioned above and live to see it than be flogged to death. I’d rather not be the richest man in the graveyard. Many of us joined not for the pay but for the lifestyle.
For sure there is a number of entitled chancers at vaa, more than I have found in other companies over the years. I give you the individual that wanted all the “covid” pilots to go to the bottom of the seniority list on return as an example. But I agree the majority are pleasant and decent people. Management on the other hand are generally spiteful, duplicitous and underhand in every way. If you dare to speak out for what’s right, for example if someone is being harassed or victimised then be prepared to face the wrath from management and their stooges in training to “manage the problem”.
And as for the loud mouth trouble makers…. 🤔
