When there are currently no mechanisms for pilot feedback to management then the frustration felt by many of us often boils over on Pprune. Pilots meeting have proven to be very ineffective and after one/some pilots lost thier profit share for expressing their opinion in 'open' forum what value has it now.
Unfortunately due to the general attitude within the company Pprune has become the only place away from the flight deck to disseminate information and opinion, much of which has been to the detriment of the companies reputation.
It is a ridiculous situation but one that doesn't seem to be changing in the short term. Trust and respect are the main casualties of the past few years regime and whilst the focus seems to have been on the Profit Share this may now seem a very short sighted policy.
I believe that it can still be recovered and if we believe that many in their Ivory Towers do read these pages then they could be used to present a more constructive way forward and get us all on the same side. With increased competition for passengers and pilots from the likes of Etihad (30% pay increase?) we will need to work together...then again...
Shake, with an 'a'.
