fokker,
Although I know how you must be feeling at being the 109 it seems that you have a very exagerated hatred of the bmi management for someone who has not been in the company that long. With that amount of discontent with your management you must be grateful that they are releasing you to find a job elsewhere.
As far as your points about crewing, they will only buy days off the people who are willing to sell them. It is those people you should take your grievances up with, and I will be 100% with you. Until people stop selling days off the company will always think that they can run the schedule with LESS pilots.
As far as crewing still calling people from standby. Isn't that the idea!! Standby days however much you dont like them are not days off.
As much as you dislike the management these are the people that may just save your job if suitable routes can be found by Jan 23rd.
