Maybe some of the problems could be solved if Captains had four year renewable contracts and had to prove their ability to manage a crew (different from barking orders) in addition to flying a plane.
Oddly enough, Les, I have
always worked for airlines on a contractural basis, renewable...and every one was renewed.
Have I had a 'problem' with cabin crew?
Only one time...and they were all terminated by the airline...all seven of them.
These malcontent CC tried to railroad the Cabin Supervisor, and I would have none of that nonsense.
It's called, shape up or ship out.
An easy concept to understand.
