I think these points by Fatpilot ( watch that BMI now
), sums it up nicely...
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?
