I totally understand what you’re saying. Very true!! A hard position to be in these days. I have been there before myself. I understand they are venting their frustrations here, but this will not prevent guys in dire straits from joining them. When you have to put food on the table we will do whatever it takes.
If they get there AOC in Belgium it would be better for the crews. Belgium has a very strong union culture and they will not be able to get away with things as with a Zim AOC.
I would suggest that crews start laying their complaints with ICAO or to the Belgium CAA by way of confidential reports. Maybe it will help.
I wish all flight crews and ground staff at Avient the very best.
