Well said NSF. Couldn't agree more; this isn't just about how much we earn or whether or not we deserve it when compared to other industries. The leap from being a freight operator, with old heaps of junk flying around the skies, to low class passenger scheduled carrier is a worry when that same bullying, unaware attitude is transferred with it.
PM is cutting costs in all of the wrong places. He buys clapped out aircraft from the local Mojave desert scrap metal merchant. He then fails to utilise them to their full potential as they spend most of the day either tech or sitting on the ground at MAN. He treats 'his' people with complete disdain & not an iota of respect. He fails to listen to his crew on anything as he is a control freak. They just might be able to save him some money if he did.
Old Skipper, the best of luck with your flying career, it sounds as though you have a good attitude & you will probably go far & have a fantastic time. When have the good fortune to leave Jet2 you will realise how much better this wonderful industry of ours really is. There are plenty of other issues that could be brought up on this thread to demonstrate to you just how unconcerned your airline is with the saftey of its crew & passengers but this thread is not the place for it. It will probably have its day: the past comes back to haunt you in avaiation, please remember that PM & ID.
