So you join an airline and put up with all the diffiicult and hostile training environment (read my latest post). You then want to upgrade or after some time on freighter, move onto pax fleet. The company tells you that you are ready for captain but then hires off the street while you stay in the right seat. Now with the downturn it will be years. Think of all the income and 15.5% and allowances it has cost you. Then they hire Direct Entry FO's on the bases while you are stuck on the freighter on freighter terms and conditions. Then as they say we are running out of money and no 13th month they have to pay off collusion charges. On friday they mention corporate code of conduct which is downright hypocricy. Mate this place is awful to work for. It has been for very many years and it has and is getting worse. So many different terms and conditions. Fights now starting to errupt in the cockpits between DEFO's and the current or older CX pilot's. These are not my opinons these are current issues as of today.
NO IT IS NOT AT ALL WORTH IT!
