Crew Shortage
At the risk of causing The Management to break into a smile, I have to say we should treat his words with some respect - whoever he/she is. Those of us who have been here a long time have seen this 'Management attitude' bear fruit for Cathay. What attitude? Try this:-
Stop even trying to be the 'friend' of aircrew. They are spineless and self-interested. They do not have a common cause and fight amongst themselves at the slightest opportunity. They threaten constantly and don't do anything. When alone and forced to stand up against huge commercial pressure (ie to extend a FDP) they inevitably fold. They will do as they are told. WE interpret the rules and we control the AOA and CAD so where's the fight coming from?? WE have an airline to run and will do so with the best aircraft and the cheapest crews.So what if the odd moron goes elsewhere - SO WHAT!! There are many more just waiting in the wings.
Now - dear Fleet Manager - any other points?
Ring a bell?
