Witness the great orange fiasco. All directly attributed to a few very gready characters who continue to claim that all is well when faced with 10+ guys a month leaving, new recruits waiting weeks for base training and a command pool which is now all but empty. Now they are cancelling flights during the summer but not due lack of crew. They are doing us a favour, cutting us slack to improve our lifestyle
But do they pay the going rate for buying back leave? hell no, mangers now have to fly and they'd rather subcharter
.
As for recruitment, they are supposedly scaling back for the summer
