There are everal issues in your post, some are more valid than others. Most companies play it straight.
We work very stricktly to duty hours and do not take jobs which can not be done legally. However I do expect the team to log their hours accurately and if they hang around using the office for personal admin etc they must log off duty first.
It is important to do accurate load sheets. If you dont one day you will find out why the hard way.
As regards to days off, this depends on your contract. You have to help the company make the business work. I expect the chaps to fly on what were scheduled days off when we need to. No one can afford to turn away the customers. We just make sure they stay within the legal number of days off for FTL. If you are going to complain about rosta changes in the corporate world you are in the wrong job.
Crews have to take off with the destinations out of limits sometimes or the job will not get done. The Captain must make a sensible decision based on the forecast, trend, diversions etc.
You must have a stake in makings things work while staying legal and safe. If the business does not work then you will be out of a job anyway.
