You've gone off-topic from the original issue...the so called 'consequences' of BN's doing. Lets look at the RESULTS of 'his' doing.
1. Plans to profitise GF...routes cancelled...rescheduling...slight contraction fo airline...general strengthening and consolidating.
2. Pilots resign with good reasons...mainly due money and lack of progression.
3. Pay raised twice.
4. Some pilots cancel resignation, some don't...about the right numbers left.
5. Progression OBVIOUSLY stalls as a result of all of the above (you can use commonsense on that one).
So where did I go wrong that you are so happy to crucify BN over? And what could you have done better with the above points from a business point of view?
And no, I'm no low-timer, unless you call 7800 low. And they're nearly all heavies too. I am here to stay at least for a while because the money was good and had gotten a whole lot better.
You are right about one thing. GF is not the right place for low seniority/hours guys unless you're young and have time on your side to wait a while for command (which I have). But this wasn't part of my discussion.
I wonder then, why you have stayed this long with the company? I intend on leaving when my bond period is over and things don't improve. Don't you have a home where you will complain far less? I know I do when the shiez hits the fan. You sound like you don't have too many options outside the sandpit.
