the contract may go with the fom. however there is no mention of this in it. the fom can be changed
or even overlooked without breach of our contract. 3 years to upgrade are just a verbal promise, not
even a verbal contract. at the moment all upgrades happen before 4 years, this should still be very
much in tolerance of normal airline fluctuation.
consider this: those dec's who cared to ask were also told that no fo would be overlooked
for the 3 year line (at least the first bunch recruited for the 343's). now that everyone has been lied to,
do you realistcally think that they would feel obliged to quit? by constantly hitting on them you imply
that they should assume responsibility for management screwups to please the fo's? - get real mates.
it's just as arrogant as the dec-nursing argument, like: [quote] "...but we, the more experienced f/os, have to
actually finish their training on the line, as unofficial "training f/os" ... for free :-)))...." [endquote]
to overrate yourself is quite dangerous for your upgrade....
dec's were reintroduced in sep 03. every fo entering later would have known about and cannot complain. those
who joined just before should be in their upgrade shortly, within 4 years, if they performed normally.
you can now stop with the dec-bashing.
