Sorry to hear you had a bad experience Diesel. Recruitment is led by HR and an Outsourced Recruitment company. I cannot speak for their methods I'm afraid.
Silverboy, I am inquisitive. In your original entrance to the discussion, you state that you are tired, and overworked. Experiencing more than 5 trips a month. At the moment, a great deal of crew are experiencing a higher volume of work. The basics come down to the fact that we still require a great deal of crew to operate for the arrival of aircraft 4 and 5.
Will it not help with your tiredness and rest if we have a greater number of crew available to operate? Discussions are great, as they do get opinions across. However, the majority of things that are coming across are airing on the negative side. It seems to be a vicious circle. Do we not need the manpower to aid our growth and our working conditions? Are all things that bad? You yourself have said that the idea is there... Would a more positive approach from the people who have to deal with it on a daily basis not help increase the motivation and drive within the work environment? I remember seeing a motivational poster in a previous life, a long time ago, it said, and I quote... "Attitudes are contagious, is yours worth catching?" Your most reliable compadre on here is an ex-employee. If you were thinking outside of the box, would an ex employee, who was with the airline for less than 6 months be a great companion in waging a war?
In laymans terms, no crew, no job...
Any guidance in my understanding that you can provide would be greatly appreciated. For it seems the path you are on does seem to be a lose/lose situation.
May I ask what previous airlines you have worked for? For if you think that Silverjet is the most etc etc... I'm sorry, it begrudges me to twist our tag line in any way, I am intrigued to which work environment you are comparing it to.
Thank you Tightslot, there do seem to be very few wanabees that post. However, I do hear we have a great turnout at our Assessment Centres.
