It is one thing to employ "fresh face newbies" wanting to get on the greasy pole for the first time, it quite something different trying to attract direct entry captains.
Continuous bonding for ongoing LPC/OPC. Nothing like generating loyality and goodwill is there. Something the beancounters clearly do not to understand - intangible asset. The price of everything, and the value of nothing?
There are far more successful ways of dealing with pilots than using a big stick approach. Ask the question why their middle management are using this style. Is this their choice, or something "imposed" from above by one dominent individual ? Which ever way - they can forgot the annual bonuses by the look of it.
Anyway all very sad, with their Scottish ambulance contract only 6+ months into what I suspect is a 7 year contract.
Ther apparently is NO middle management ! Its 2 guys with big sticks and thats it .
Have the pilots settled their dispite with management then ,DOES ANYBODY KNOW ?
