to A321 and all the other whiners and daydreamers...
I am sure there is some bloke out there who will do your job aswell for the half of the salary and please be nice to this guy. He only wants to survive!
The LH Mainline pilots are starting to fight against the erodication of OUR working enviroment. This has started way too late, but hope not too late.
I know you want my job, thats ok. I have no problem with that. But please dont have a problem if i want to keep mine and fight against anybody who wants to have a share of my pie. thats life, got a problem with that?
The management tries to cut the pie in many little crumbles..
The list is long and will continue
Lufthansa Italia
BMI
AUA
SWISS
Brussels Airlines
Jade Cargo
Aerologic
JetBlue
Condor Berlin
Condor
German Wings
want more?, i am sure there is more in the pipeline to come...
All these companies are an opportunity for pilots outside the KTV to get a job, thats fine with me, but they also are a opportunity for the management of LH:
1. to bypass the entry-requirements for LH Mainline
2. Pay less wages
3. Create jobs with a lower standart of life for its employes
4. install a divide and rule situation among the employees
5. try to get rid of KTV
Anybody who doesnt understand this, is living in a dreamworld. The management tries to cut costs and we try to earn our money. Thats the way the industry works. If you cant stand the heat, get out of the kitchen because its going to be a long, hot summer!
To all these comments about ivory towers and arrogant pilots, i have only one answer: Open your eyes! This is what the LH management wants. Little brave followers who all blow into the same horn. Fly for less money, shuts the F
K up when it comes about T&C. All these puppets are happy to fly a jet, have an endless thankfullness to the company who gave them a chance. They also fear the dooming prognosis of the managemt of a bancrupcy looming around the corner if they are not willing to work for less.
As long my company has assets to invest outside the core-business i dont think the S
t is going to hit the N1. Where do you think this money comes from? LH is buying on airline after another and investing at the same time in its shortrange & cargo mainline as little as possible. At the same time its asking employees for sacrifices in salary and grounding A/C and starting the same operations with different subcarriers. (etc. LH Cargo / Aerologic)
The only clueless here is you A321! Because the scenario like above is the one guys like you dont understand, the big picture, the global play... Only because i still feel proud to fly and work for a company i dont have to shame a bit! What do you know about globalisation and the "real world outside" All you want is to get rid of the well paid, well trained, fat and happy KTV pilots. Are you a pilot or a managementpuppet? If you didnt make the DLR test, i feel sorry for you. You got a job in an A321 i assume, so be happy and make the best out of your options. I wish you all the best and good luck.
Look how well the other airlines in Germany treat their employees, notice any similarities in the development? If the KTV falls, its one of the last fortresses of good working conditions and i bet the remaining airlines will not pay better after that. All the smaller companies always orientate with the flag carriers. We all lose if the flag carriers lose.
We had some heated discussions with you EAM, and I do agree with you that its a foul play if guys get busted in a SIM Check because of politics. The LH management is playing a foul play also in Condor screenings, inviting DEC for selection but knowing at the same time that there are a lot of FOs who are way before them in the queu for upgrade, so there is no need for DEC. This is the same sh+t. Playing the pilots against each others.
Some of our checkers are very companymindend. Especially those who are involved in creating new subsidiaries of LH, because they are usually also having a management function. I wonder a little bit if these guys bust checkrides. It would be the vice versa what i would expect. I keep an ear open and check this out.
these are thoughts of a copilot after working for more than 10 years on the righthand seat. My CPT upgrade has moved well beyond the visible horizon. Wonder which comes first, gray hair, 40th birthday or an upgrade
good luck and good night
....and keep fighting for your job....
