yes I agree. KA freighter guys, DEFO's, X Oasis Pilot's etc etc
All a big problem, especially when guys like these don't care.
All i know is that everytime I go to the bar, go to dispatch or go to Starbucks the topic of conversation invariably leads to these guys/girls aiding and abetting the company. The young guys are pissed off and quite righly so.
It's not simply a question of blaming the company. These guys knew what they were doing, pure and simple.
The fact that they are retired A scale doesn't really matter, we would think the same if they were retired B or C scale guys.
It just makes it worse to see those guys that did very well in CX over a 20+ year career with very nice PF's coming back as basically DEC on a !!!! payscale.
What exactly are they on? Well I'm reliably told they've accepted a poultry $87,000 HKD month with no housing allowance. They CAN accept this low pay because they don't need the money.
Apple Tree Yard and his ilk don't object because they too want to do the same thing in a few years time, DON'T YOU MATE.
Don't bother denying it, over 90% of guys approaching 55 said "no way, I'm not going into training" then guess what, 5 months before retirement they "see the company light" tossers
So you can blame the company all you want, but we do know where they stand don't we.
=they will bend the FTL's where required
=not pay bypass pay to F/O's until assessed which is against their contracts
=upgrade out of seniority
=pay a little as they CAN GET AWAY WITH
How can they do this? Because we have a bunch of selfish twits only thinking of themselves instead of a unified cohesive UNITED work force.
yeah.............
