HR department
HR department are as of today under new management, hopefully this will lead to improvements in this department. Most likely there will be a new person responsible for the recruitment process.
Scheduling is still a big problem for foreigners since we are working usually in a 6-1 and 6-2 sometimes a 6-3 roster pattern on the regional side of the airline with nightstops every second day.
Another problem is the contracts that seemed to be different for different employees. Some are payed from offshore company and some from the main BT company. Differences in tax makes this system unequal.
There are also pilots leaving the company due to the problems with schedule and go back to their old "office work" in their home country.
Positive side is that the company is still expanding and will require more pilots, and the commander upgrade comes fast (2 years).
The job is not a walk in the park, the atmosphere among employees are more and more leading towards conflict and even some calls for strike.
Theres no trust in the Union, there are rumours about the chairman that blocks all improvements and demands from the union side.
Hopefully we will be able to see some positive changes in the next year and our profession will not appear as doomed as it is now.
Good Luck to you all.
May the force be with you.
