KA is not a pleasant place to work. It has certainly deteriorated over the last few years. Staff morale has plummetted. It would appear we have the budget/bonus system in place for managers and this has resulted in a constant attack on the COS etc etc etc. This system was disbanded in some other countries years ago because of the end increase in overall costs from this type of management. Sadly KA believe their training is a world beater and this is partly a result of the lack of overall management exposure to other operations and an unfaounded belief in the current system. Someone doing a command at any airline within 18 months can expect close scrutiny and a fairly intense course but KA unfortunately don't support a candidate before or during a course. Instead barriers and hurdles are put in place and if not cleared then out you go. No retraining or discussion just go away and come back in a year. Their are no come backs on the training department or trainers. No checking to see what might have helped or what we could have done better. Guys are getting things thrown at them on their command sims they've never seen before or had any training in!!! Most disturbingly a lot of guys on the command go down on the last day in the sim. So the whole exercise has been a waste of time for the candidate not to mention the stress and waste of $$$$$ for the company. This situation should be addressed as soon as possible.
