The economic circumstance was that pilots T&Cs got left behind 2 years ago for the so called pilot demand.
A modest payrise 2 years ago (lets say somewhere between 10-20 thousand), would have kept a fair wack of the crew (some will always leave), and it would have still been cheaper then the expense of training. The cost would have been passed on to the clients anyway.
Some people would forego some of the pay increase for a little recognition and respect (something that is lost these days). A movie ticket or a bottle of wine is cheaper then a payrise and goes a long way to better moral. A sincere '
thankyou' for a last min roster change, going out of your way to make a situation easier ect is a cost to the company of nothing. Yep, that's correct respect is
FREE.
I cant believe i've been suckered in
