I could write a long list on the reductions in Terms & Conditions and undelivered items at flydubai, but right now the only real item of concern is
Kabul.
We are now expected to fly into a war zone, whilst our management bleat on about how much they care about us, though if you examine the list of reductions in T&C's and broken promises delivered to us thus far, it doesn't exactly show a lot of care or compassion!
The Flight Operations and the Safety Department (
which is seriously lacking in both credibility and stature) must be only too well aware that operations into / out of Kabul are fraught with danger (
surface to air missile anybody? and
see a Stinger in action ) but they haven't got the balls or integrity to stand-up and say "No!" to it.
And be in no doubt that most reputable life insurance, health insurance, or mortgage policies will not pay out should you get injured or killed during operations in to or out of Afghanistan... and the flydubai answer to this will be to recompense you, or your dependents, with two years worth of your basic salary only. Not exactly equitable is it?!
