The once good conditions have been on a downward slope for a few years now.
The re-basing process have resulted in costs transfer from the company to the crews and in some cases it meant a huge loss of net income for said crews. Again, this was done on a take it or leave it basis with no opportunity for the crews to protect themselves from those bully methods. Now re-basing crews at will have become a normal management tool.
The race to the bottom is also well engaged with a new ryanair style rule imposing the "under training" salary on the new fo's until they reach 500 hrs on type while the previous rule granted them "year 1" salary from the line check on. Swiftair has clearly set the standards. Watch this space. Probably more inventive shafting are to come...
The trust in the managament has vanished, but surely they don't give a damn as long as the job market is on their side... However they still expect crews to go the extra mile to achieve the customer performance goal... isn't that nice ....
On a more positive note, ops peeps are top notch.
