Why's PB going round the bases? What's the point? Does he really think that going round the bases asking guys to stay will make any difference? Does he really think he has that much clout and think everyone thinks so much of him that if we think we've upset him by looking to move that we'll immediately reverse any plans or decisions that have already been made?
Why can't they see that all they've got to do is to stop treating us like poo, and provide an incentive to get promoted!! Cash and a stable home life (trying to commute from the southern tip of Italy on a 5/3 roster is no life) would be a start. Then we can take it from there.
I know EK has many imperfections, but they are few compared with the crap we have to put up with here and it should come as no surprise that people are looking to leave in whatever numbers, tens, hundreds, thousands who knows.
Whats going to happen when the economy finally picks up and other airlines open their doors - BA, Virgin, Cathay etc etc. FR wont have anyone left. But their constant short sightedness wont allow them to see that, particularly if they truely believe that PB on a begging mission will make the slightest difference. It wont.
