If a complaint about this has been raised, you would never know. A lot goes on behind closed doors and if the HR person has been spoken to, it would be a secret.

In a past company, a CC trainer worded up a bunch of new FAs that a
certain captain (who was named) was a "sleaze bag" and should be reported if he harrassed anybody. She lost her training position within days. Lucky for her she didn't face a lawsuit.

Cauldron, HR does not represent an employee. HR ALWAYS represents the EMPLOYER. This is why we have unions. If you are working in Australia, you are mad if you are not the member of a union.

Reading between the lines on this, it would seem that the conditions on offer have kept a lot of drivers away and they are having trouble finding people. I have heard that a number of pilots have said at the interview stage or when presented with the contract that the conditions are not acceptable. Could this be the context of "world of their own"?
