Latest Bjorn's 'gift' to his pilots : Pilot Airport Standby!
Guys,
You thought we got this 200BD salary increase for nothing, look at what they want us now to do! **** I miss a good union (i know we are in the middle east) I will go on strike for less than that! 3 Airlines and many years in this business and I have never seen Pilot Airport Standby, even in the worst carriers !
In my AIMS inbox today:
1 Airport Standby
Wih the introduction of the new Network aircraft schedule, Pilots may be
assigned to airport Standby to ensure on time departures in case of last
minute changes. Crew will be paid the 1.5 BD during the time of Airport
Stnadbu assignment. The system will be reviewed after the initial month of
analysis.
regards
Flight Operations
But as far as I am concerned, I have seen nothing written about this in OM-A or any NTC / JNTC... I am sure it will come very soon!
And honestly, they think they will solve their OTP (=On Time Performance) problems with this ? Get a good maintenance who takes care of our aircrafts and get the ground staff to do their job and close the door at ETD-10 no matter what then you will see improvement in our OTPs !
Bjorn, did you renew that PPL of yours?
