I just don't get it.
Why is easy Management unwilling to act on such a relatively simple issue as staff travel?
With all the IT whizzkids in the company, surely a simple electronic(!) voucher system with standby seats could be up and running in a matter of days.
Cost? Very little.
Benefit? Very big.
Because
- improved morale, crews willing to go the extra mile for the company and saving loads of money on disruption by willing to go into discretion
- lower attrition of quality pilots
- word of mouth will help with the hiring of experienced new guys to facilitate the ongoing expansion
Don't get me started on alll the petty things pilots and cabin crew are suspended or even fired over! It is a disgrace!
RW, I hope you will make some changes.
