hmmmm... maybe I should rephrase the question to be more in line with current management thinking........
" how can we retain current captains WITHOUT paying more money, and WITHOUT giving them more respect? "
can I rephrase in a current CAPTAIN'S line of thinking?.....
"WHY should I work extra hours when the company do NOT respect the job I do? "
WHY should I come in to work on a day off with my family, for less money per hour than I currently get for a NORMAL ROSTERed DAY OF WORK?"
"WHY should I extend my already long day by another 3-4 hours for NO MORE MONEY?".
WHY SHOULD I WORK HARDER, FOR LESS MONEY?"
"WHY SHOULD I STAY? WHEN I CAN BE PAID MORE $$$$ TO FLY A BETTER AIRCRAFT OVER the same routes, with a company which respect me?
WHY SHOULD I STAY WHEN I NOW EARN LESS THAN I DID 8 YEARS AGO, DOING THE SAME JOB, IN THE SAME AIRCRAFT, ON THE SAME ROUTES WITH ESSENTIALLY THE SAME COMPANY?
What incentive is there to stay?????
Money not as good.
lifestyle not as good.
people leave faster than a hooker when you tell them you are broke.
equipment not been updated.
sim checks more fearsome than ever.
uniforms worse than ever(and I mean EVER!!!!!!)
ALL!!!! sick leave queried~!
allowances not paid in accordance with EBA.
Regular propaganda leaflet punctuating sick leave like it is a unionised action.
NO communication from "LORD ST"
to name just a few....
WHY WOULD YOU STAY?
AND STILL!!!!!current management do NOT give a rats a#se WHY you are leaving?
