Managers, ya gotta love 'em! Seems they always have this
if you don't like it, leave thing to throw at a pilot if he isn't tickled pink about the way his career is being screwed around.
Funny thing is though, managers know just as well as pilots do, it's hard to leave an airline. There are no lateral moves, it's back to the bottom of the list, unless the contract biz is more to your liking. When it comes to career airlines pilots can't move about without seriously altering their career.
It's different for managers though. Did Eddington go back to the bottom of the list after leaving CX (in quite a mess by the way, still sorting that one!!), or joining BA after Ansett? He didn't even do a good job and managed to keep his position in three different companies. It's the same for the middle management types as well. You see ads all the time, CX has regularly taken on expat managers from other airlines. Then the
pr!cks show up and tell us, IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT LEAVE! Knowing full well what that does to ones career.
So while all you management types spout off about 'harming the company' and 'behave with integrity' and 'have some dignity', we'll just keep doing the job. Remember this, the performance of your employees is a direct reflection of your effectiveness as a manager. So don't give us that crap anymore. Maybe you should just try and do your job a little better. We are the ones here for the long haul. We are the ones who have the long term interest of the company in mind. We are the ones who have to live with your screw ups.
