the top stinks

if you read any post on these boards, you should read disconnected's. i know people in MK Ops and they are just as devestated, if not more so, than us. because they know the pressure those crews are made to fly under.

if the crews complain about the hours, they are told they are not 'team players' and that they either fly or there won't be a job for them. or the flights are given to those that don't 'complain'. so the pressure to fly in order to help their families survive by earning as much foreign currency is critical. if the crews leave for other positions, they get accused of deserting the company.

and this situation has been created at the top by a person who conveniently 'leases' the crews through an agency rather than having to pay them a wage with benefits. thereby forcing them into a 'pay only when you fly' situation.

nice attitude from a guy who was once one of them and now casually takes their lives for granted.

start at the top.
