Oddly enough, punkalouver, indeed it is altho I am on leave at the moment.
Hmmm, as for salaries, mine was never late, always to the correct dollar, and so was everyone else that I knew....except for a couple of folks who insisted to be paid in advance (and were) then 'disappeared'.
So, you indeed might expect sour grapes from these few, now that the Cyprus AOC is close to issue, more airplanes on the way, a proposed marketing agreement with folks from the original Laker group who can bring a lot of new business to the table... these few folks it appears have right and truly burned their bridges behind.
Rather shortsided for these few, to say the least.
Overweight?
I certainly didn't, nor anyone else I know.
Long duty hours, well yes, but all within the present AOC, so far as I know.
36 hours?
Hardly.
An overtime structure was introduced toward the middle of last year, and the FD crew salaries paid can be quite good, altho they, like many other carriers in the middle east, expect that you be available for duty, when called.
Like everywhere else.\
A white glove operation they are not.
Perhaps some with the complaints just didn't fit in?
It wouldn't be the first time, just as in many other companies.
