MOLG - we are not as stupid as you so yes we understand your posts. Please tell me where the difference is between a bond for 3 years on a reduced salary and paying for the TR upfront on a full salary. With debt being very cheap (if you can get it) I reckon I am better off paying upfront. For a supposedly trained accountant you ain't the brightest of sparks.
I earn better money working for FR than most of my counterparts but when it comes to doing the command with them that's when it becomes ridiculous. None of us who have lives want to move to another base on reduced salary and a non-commutable roster and hence the recent upsurge of people turning them down. It is FR who is loosing out here with some very capable and good pilots leaving to other companies. From 90% of the guys I have spoken to at my level they aren't going to take the command regardless of you sending them away to another base because they know it's not right. So we are standing up for ourselves. Personally I am going to everything in my power to make sure I get those interviews that are cropping up on an increasingly regular basis now and get the hell out of here (I got a couple lined up - apparently they like the FR guys as we work quickly and efficiently and know how to programme an FMC - thanks for the training FR you have done me proud, I did pay MOL for it though so I presume it's all part of the service)
I can't speak for wrong stuff but I am happy. I work with some very nice people, can go home from work and forget about it and in my bed every night, depending on your tax bill at the end of the year my net income has been enough to be able to reduce all of my loan to virtually nothing (I don't go and splash out on the latest BMW/Audi!)
As for TnC's being the same at other airlines, firstly please provide me with the evidence secondly I won't be any worse off than I am now so again where is the problem.
MOLG- you sound like a guy who is stuck on a turboprop who should of paid for the TR but instead your bonded to a company for 3 years and now you hours don't count for s**t. If your not like 'this guy' then you will no doubt have countless health problems from being so stressed all the time!
who's the savvy one now.......
