1. WWW you disappoint me. I am not sure if your attitude has changed since leaving Wannabees. The MD of the organisation referred to here is a similar character to your / our unmentionable friends in a well known school in Florida
2. The fact that the CAA has 'approved' this organisation is alarming and disappoints me significantly. The organistion which the CAA has approved has generated considerable stress amongst its professional flying staff yet is approved by the CAA. Looking at the MD's email above I can identify several stress factors as follows :
Loss of job 47
Change to different type of work 36
Trouble with boss 23
Inability to escape from incompatible colleagues 11
Financial worries 17
Inability to disentangle work from home life 11
Change of residence 20
Change of work respoonsibility 29
Bank loan 17
The numbers refer to a scale for stress levels - if you pass a total of 100 you are a danger to yourself and others
Who would want to go flying with a person under those stress levels. Where's their lookout
Come on CAA - don't let such an organisation demean your own previously high standards
3. The organisation above surviveson a government contract. Is there no stipulation in such a contract that you must pay a living wage. It is such a contradiction that a Government organisation is having to investigate a contract given out by another Government organisation - even more so with a Labour government in power. I urge all staff members to write to their MP's to sort it out
As a taxpayer I am also bothered by the use of my tax dues being used to create a low pay underclass
4. This organisation (TA) has been peddling the 'airline' carrot for years. It is an unproven thesis that experience gained in such a manner is relevant to the airline world. The airlines need to abandon the 1000 hour rule - it creates too much animosity all round : low pay, frigged log books, huge amount of envrionmental damage etc...
