Exisiting FR Pilots have to pay expenses whilst training
FR pilots working in the company be it 1 month or 15 years now have to pay all expenses whilst being converted from the 200 on to the 800. They have to pay their own transport (including airfares - as they are off duty), food and accommodation for the duration of their conversion training 4-6 weeks and during line training. And also sign a 2 year bond.
Also bear in mind that they will not be paid sector pay whilst training either - this will bring the cost directly to the pilot of over 4000.
What other company would send an employee away for training and expect them to pay for their own transport, food and accommodation on top of all the other annual expenses now incurred.
They have reached a new low in employee relations – where is the fight back ?
