rumour etc
What make you think that its based on rumour and "heard from a friend " ? Could it not actually be true ? or is that that you just refuse to accept that some companies can behave like this ?
Look at the number of entries about nje, do you really think this is all sour grapes ? or envy ?
There are many pilots who have felt the wrath of nje, so I suggest that you may be a little quick to come out with the 'rumour and heard from a friend' routine.
The spirited defence of the company by several individuals is laudable, ( and is probably a company requirement when the printout is taken in to the upper echalon office is LIS for the pat on the head ! ) but in the end they may come to understand how this company operates, like many others before them.
These threads should, in my opinion, be treated as words of caution to other would be employees. They are, with one or two exceptions, intended to be informative and evoke discussion, but above all they are for the benefit of our brother and sister pilots. When we start the personal attacks on each other, we are certainly not achieving anything positive. Our energies would be better directed at bringing to light and exposing practices which have resulted in many well intended pilots being thrown out of a job, in many instances for absolutely no reason, other than it suiting various individuals personal agendas in Portugal. The disparate nature of aviation has dictated that there has been no cohesion amongst those so affected, ( not a situation gone unnoticed by LIS ) Is it not about time that individuals got organised ? actually got together and organised some method of redressing matters ?
Now would be the time for all those suggestions folks, now that would be useful !
