Indeed.......
And before anyone says "But I hardly do any overtime anyway, so it wont really make any difference" (ie Boeing guys), we WILL be working much harder later in the year!
We are still getting 19 A/C over the next 14 months, but are not recruiting enough pilots to cover the deliveries with present productivity levels, so..... The current pilots will just have to work more hours and be more productive (10-20% more), for essentially less money. Simple....... AAR can give himself a big pat on the back for this one!
More productivity from the existing workforce, means less new pilots required, which means fewer Villa's/education allowance/prov fund/crew transport/ALT's etc etc to pay for.
I also fear this is just the start of a very long and horrid road of opportunistic screwing over from the company!
