I know of one F/O who left us to go to them but he spoke highly of them so no comment on the airline ability or structure.
Usualy though it is not the operating crew's fault only. The problem comes from upper pilot management. If they insist on operating beyond limits or in marginal conditions one day as in all airlines it will come back and bite them. All the savings that could be saved from non-diversions or cancelled flights are gone with one incident. If you teach pilots to operate in a certain way, if you teach pilots that limits are there because we need to have them legaly but realy do not apply to us because we are better, then of course you are forcing operating crews to disregard safety for operational efficiency in the detriment of overall airline viability and total airline safety and profitability. If the airline depends on its crews to bend or even brake the rules in order to make money, than there is something completely wrong with the business model...
