CAVEAT EMPTOR
Currently 14 pilots out of around 150 on the resignation list.
Two B737 fleet TRE's have resigned in last 2 months.
The Chief Training Captain resigned due to 'issues' 2 weeks ago.
The Flight Safety Officer (who had been with the company 7 years) resigned 2 months ago after disagreements with the Group Safety Officer- a mate of PM. ( I dare not publish the allegations)
A300 pilot force given no oppertunity to move to B737/757 without paying up and signing new contracts. Some pilots with over 15 years service with the company! (But at least they got a better deal than the poor lads on the F27 at Christmas)
PM has taken senior staff off the B737 to crew the B757 due to lack of applicants - due entirely to poor pay & conditions. This has caused mayhem on the B737. There are now only now 4 TRE's remaining on the B737 fleet (20 Aircraft) and that includes the Flight Ops Director.
Crew ratio well under 4.0.
A not untypical roster: 6 on 2 off 6 on 3 off 7 on 2 off 2 on etc.... In other words you cant plan anything. Contract also says that the company can cancel a day of if they give you 2 days notice.
Roster stability non existant - Many pilots in the resignation pool are simply not turning up for work.
Its a four month notice period with a 10,000 UK Sterling penalty PER MONTH if you break your notice period! - Easier to go sick!!
Moral, needless to say, in tatters.
B737's in poor state with many 'yellow stickers' - Engineering resources split to now include B757's.
Oh.... and recent directive from B737 Fleet Manger instructing pilots not to make posts on PPRUNE!!
Aye, that will be right......
