the roster situation is coming from Senior Management
Crew Control and Schedulers were told to "disrupt" the rosters whenever possible.
Heard similar from very credible SMNC guys. Now that all departments are under one big mission control room at level 6 of HQ it is easy to create these situations by walking in there, look over shoulders, and make last minute changes. Desperate times desperate measures. We are hurting more than everybody think. Do not underestimate this financial crisis. We might have hit the point of no return. After all the amount of money we have to pay at the end of the month to cover our costs must be unreal. At one point if you don't cover your engagements nobody wait for you. With the yields these days we are losing big money. Interesting times ahead! In the mean time my roster is a joke. Nothing I asked for. They are putting special attention at inserting flights before and after leave these days. There are so many guys on the swap groups asking to swap before or after their leave because they received no days off. This is easy to disturb when Adopt gives you a string of five days. Just to think about what the company might insert into Adopt's parameters. They can play with it on a monthly basis and they don't have to tell anybody. Our management team are used to sail in clear waters. They are right in the middle of a perfect storm. So far these changes to our rosters must be required thinking they are doing the right thing to save the ship... Only time will tell what these type of decisions do.
