The crew forum is as already stated a farce! No sooner had it been used as a discipline tool it became time expired. But we need frank discussion and here is the only place left to conduct it.
This isn't a personal attack but we have an ops director that I and most just have no faith in, he is no leader and in my opinion is just a yes man that is just feathering his own nest, I as many others heard him state that CF (HR) was a very powerful lady who shouldn't be crossed! Now that says to me that if that is his view we are leaderless. RB had a handle on what was right and what was wrong and gave his views accordingly! CF has no understanding of what our job entails and runs the whole show as if we are all 9 to 5er's. The company is multi faceted and cannot be governed as if we are all the same.
Using fuel as KPI is not only wrong but is dangerous! Who came up with it? Surely not a pilot! I for one will not be adjusting the way I operate. I'll be using the experience I have gained over the last 20 years to put on the fuel I require, not what the company says i'll require. If it is your idea Tweed or any of you management pilots had input into it, you should be ashamed of yourselves. This is no way to manage fuel usage.
Dont expect 50% pay for winter off, PM has never ever given something for nothing. I hope the rumours are wrong, but as always with this lot there will be something wheeled out at the next meeting!
I urge those left on the crew council to resign forthwith, let them stuggle with issuing the bad news themselves.
