The few and far between skilled managers have seen the writing on the wall for the past 12 months and have left.
On the other hand, the opportunistic managers that are left are having difficulty in dealing with the ability to make command and pro-active decisions to benefit the company.
According to the CP the company is in "CRISIS".
For anyone thinking of joining Qantaslink, do it for 4-5 months then get out!
The company will lose 20% of the pilot group in the next 4-6 months and its going to get far worse before it gets better.
- Annual leave is being cancelled. So forget the benefit of staff travel.
- Bids to move within the network are being cancelled.
- 150 hour F/O's on the way to "fix" the problems.
- All reserve days gone.
- Bullying management style highly on the rise.
The 'lifestyle' choice of working for Qantaslink is dead. Why get flogged at this company when the pilot group is the worst paid Dash 8 drivers in the world. Might as well get flogged somewhere else and get paid more, wouldn't you think!!
The accountants have killed Qantaslink... the ship is sinking and sinking fast.
The other advice to newbies is, if you want to progress into Qantas mainline, 'progression will never happen' for Qantaslink pilots according to the C.P.
The Jungle Jet has got the management team in a spin. Good to see competition kicking in. Remember...before you join...'the company is in crisis'.
