Ghengis,
Give us some credit. We keep the aircraft and hangar clean. No maintenance on site, but we do complete the mid maintence schedule oil changes. We've standardised groundschool between us for all the ppl lessons and also 99.9% of the ppl theory groundschool. As I said no probs with some unpaid work, but we could better use our time than sitting idle.
Wages are normal. On some days of the week there are 5 pilots at work. We've tried suggesting that a rota/on call system would be benefical but thats allegedly too difficult to manage
In common with most places lessons are booked back to back so we work hard through the summer, days well in excess of the hours specified. What we're asking for is some leeway now the winter months are upon us.
If theres nothing to be done it is quite normal for us to sit, natter, drink coffee, read pprune, clean our cars.
Do any of you operate with sensible poor wx days policies? Or are we asking for/expecting too much?
