Productivity

How's that for improving productivity...

The Cost Neutral Pay Adjustment. The Factoring FIASCO. The Second Coming of Factoring. No more credit for Leave or Reserve. Cutting Prov Fund and Profit Share from suture pay increases. Accomodation shaftings. Promotion shaftings. DECs. Forced fleet transfers. FOs doing the training for cheaper rates. Outsiders doing the training for outrageously increased rates. TCK's "Disicpline" rant and uniform policy. Ever-decreasing meal allowances. The recent pick-up times goat-rope. The extra baggage issue. The sign-on time issue. The loss of 30min end of duty period. The farming out of ground school time into YOUR personal time and the CRM part into the previously important SEP day. 24hr ULR layovers. Three-crew JFKs. The introduction of endless dead-heading AFTER a duty when required. The 3 day PPC. The 2 day PPC. This shady, dodgy new ONE DAY PPC for "certain" candidates. FREE sim support duties (and god help us, guys STILL volunteer for them). The first shot at constraining rostering practices. The second time last year. This latest vindictive action. Did I miss anything?
I love it, what more do you need to explain after all. And remember it was in good times when they were making loads of money. Brace my friends. Here are a few more, from 28 days to 21 days in a row for annual leave, or new joining single pilots get a two bedrooms flat instead of 3 bedrooms before. Pilots not allowed in first class seats to rest. What about the lounge access when we travel. And the price of traveling tickets. More expensive on EK than other airlines. But it looks good in productivity report to announce a big profit with staff travel every year. I could go on. You give me some more examples...
