i am gladsickofwxbashers you enjoy it so much but with all due respect a 6 0n 3 0ff pattern is hardly any good, when the industry standard is 5/4 at ryanair or 5/3/54 at easy.also i hear you can finish on a late on start on an early quite a bit .as for the leave system being transparent, it was also transparent when i was there to be fair, i could always see that my leave was pending!pending what i never quite knew and that was the problem.
the money is quite good to be fair but the problem is quite a high percentage of it still seems to come from sector pay and overnights and i really dont think that 12 night plus in hotels provides a desirable quality of life. more to life than cash!
As for the other things than are offered e.g medicals paid for,pensions etc, to be honest. Again industry standard, most places give that. Not really deal breaker.
And another thing!!, i think referring to the victims! as you put it is very unfair. in my time there,there were people that were demoted from training posts but can you honestly tell me that wx management were not using their powers to bully people. or using commands to make a point, the point usually being challenge their appallinging lack of man management skills and be dealt with in a very under hand manner. that for me was the biggest problem with wx. colleagues were great but some senior management seem to think that the best way to deal with someone who tries to stand up for themselves is to make their life hell.Not good.
Your right though in one thing, wx is a good place to start and good staff travel, but for me and countless others, i reckon over 80 % of the company who worked there in my time and from what i hear still a similiar percentage, thats were its good points ended.That for me was the shame because with more skilled management i think it could have been a superb place to work. well thats what i think anyway!
Sick of wx bashers genuinely do think your reference to the 'victims' is not fair when you know, and you should know if you are there 5 years plus.there were nearly always other more sinister factors involved
