Looks like the shortage of 737 guys will be acute in July / August as we have all just received an email from the management inviting part timers to work full time in July August . . . . . . and the magnficent incentive you will receive for giving up your time during the peak holiday season is ? double time ? extra leave credit ? a day off later in the year for your anniversary / kids birthday ?
Nope , non of these ,the incentive ,as usual is NOTHING thats right nothing . So you give it up for the co ' you receive nothing above the standard daily rate in return .
Its all about our people making a difference , people are our number one asset , blah blah blah blah
These numskulls would rather sub-charter flights out than admit they got their crew resource wrong and will have to pay the boys a few more quid to turn out for extra days .
The sub chartering probably comes out of someone elses budget so the pilot managers can still boast that they have made budget on crew costs and claim a big fat bonus for all their hard work .
