Hope the Shamrock lives and returns to full greenery and not just for St.Paddys day.
Even though one works for a competitor ,I wish all of the staff the very best in the uncertain weeks and months to follow.
However ,and this is a big HOWEVER,
the companys management and or unions have been very wasteful over the past years.
I don't doubt that the crews are owed 10,000 holidays(info from a previous post)but if this is the case I find the senario even more baffling ,
I know pilots who have worked 300 hours last year.some fly 2 days a week and the company has until recently had contract pilots (F/Os) on staff.
This unfortunately is just the tip of the iceberg .I've read recently that a 25% pay rise has been approved for the pilots when and if the company returns to good fortune
OH Come on.
Sorry ,but it just doesnt make any sence
I could go on ,but whats the point
Anyway I wish the companies employees all the best for the future.Who knows where any of us will find ourselves this time next year
those who live in glass houses and all that!
