Personally I cant see what all the fuss is about!
We get a good wage each month, good predictable days off, we have a CC that DOES give a FF about T & C's and work hard on our behalf. Nice aircraft, nice crews and despite the increased size, we still have a laugh at work.
People moan about a career airline - a career is a step up from FO to Captain. There may now be a waiting list but there arent any shortages of spaces. Yes, some delays which is a pain for the individuals but not a cause to throw teddy out of cot. A career is then into the training department. If thats what you want then fine, but the percentage of trainers to pilots (airlines everywhere) is small. So why not chill out and go to work, do your stuff and take the money.
If you dont like it leave. There ARE plenty of jobs available - do it dont blab about it, its boring and tiresome.
There are PLENTY of things that can be done to improve our lot, a lot at little cost to the Company. But those of you that have been around a bit will know that ALL, yes ALL, companies are the same.
I had a little exchange of words with a Thompson Fly captain not long ago. A bit of banter after he called himself easy. He said he'd been with easy for 5 years and difficult to get out of the habit of callsign.
When asking him what its like there he said "exactly the same, just a different colour!"
Says it all really!
