Seymour Fanny,
For a first post on this forum your comments are pretty strong; as a Manchester based pilot I wonder how long you have actually been with GB?
Major,
The new man means business and I for one am encouraged by his determination and passion. It's a cut throat world out there and only the leanest and meanest will survive, I don't think GB are ready to throw in the towel just yet.
The rostering is a mess but moves are afoot to improve it and that will make a world of a difference. GB is still a far cry from a charter airline - some of us might know!
For those that are considering a move to GB I would say this; everyone is tightening the money belts, GB is one of the few airlines left that doesn't roster to 900 hours. The routes are varied and challenging, the aircraft are all brand new. The lifestyle is tedious but will improve. The pay is at least the industry norm. The company is still small enough to have a family feel about it.
You decide.
