CD, in my opinion, most guys post here simply because it s a way for them to vent. nothing more.
1)Is it possible that Ey management read these discussions? yes. people on the 320 have been complaining for what? at least 1 year? what has changed? nothing. so exactly what power against management would be/ has been gained?
2) I m convinced that a lot of potential candidates read pprune and that what they read here might discourage them to apply. having said that, the company is not in shortage of applications. they would have no problem recruiting enough pilots if they wanted to. The T and C's have deteriorated. this doesn' t usually happens when a company has a hard time recruiting.
your second scenario suggests that some of us would be doing this out of compassion and I guess that s a possibility
