still got his clubs....don't bother mate: you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink, as the saying goes.
The problem with the Jet2 jockey's is their amateurism and general lack of avaition experience. It shines through throughout this whole thread and the previous threads, generally regarding this airline's shoddy, low standards. ID got a round of applause from his minions in Manchester for giving the FOs £2.50 per sector and the Captains £6.00
it say's it all.
They are in the low cost sector and some of them think that it's fantastic to only be flying 40 hours per month when everyone else is flying 90, they are happy to be paid less.
If you take into account the pay and conditions, pay-per-pilot-hour in Jet2 is roughly the same as in Ryanair or easyJet. We fly less and get paid less.
MANBLK hasn't factored into that the fact that they have the largest bill for contractors of any other loco, the nodding dog, NH, will tell you that this is all ok, though. He doesn't think about the airframes standing idle on the ramps of Northern England earning absolutely nothing (in fact costing) while they are not in the air. They won't survive at this level if they continue as they are. Fact. Their yield & load factors aren't good, how's the loads on the BLK routes or the EDIMAN?
I believe that PM has in fact sold on some of his aircraft & then re-leased them back. If he hasn't yet then watch this space. Why does he insist on recruiting people with low hours who will pay for their ratings? Because, 1) no experienced person will touch them unless they are contractors, 2) he can manipulate and bully them into taking piss-take level pay increases, 3) he can bond them and force them into staying with his tin pot outfit, hell, he even tries that one on with guys who made the mistake of going there already type rated!
How many of you who have had a pop at Silverhawk have got his experience & years in the industry? I don't think his plan is the best idea put forward but at least he's trying to achieve something. Boeingmann's mum probably still sends him to work with a hanky and his name written in the back of his jacket and yet he rips into silverhawk without anything constuctive to say.
As I've said, still got his clubs, don't bother....
