The company has problems.
The numbers speak for themself. These are the numbers for HKE.
HKA has an even higher turnover.
400% pilot turnover since 2005
80% pilot turnover each and every year since the company started.
I challenge any of you to find an airline anywhere in the world that has pilots come and go like this.
Do you really think a company which is good to its staff would have experienced this huge turnover?
Do you want to work for a company that is so narrow minded and under resourced that they have done nothing to slow this exodus?
Do you want to work for a company with management that is so incompetent that they did not even realize that the turnover was this high (until now. reading this)
What is the cost to train up then lose a pilot? 100,000 $US? more? Multiply that by the 240 pilots the company trained and lost. (HKE) What price can you put on experience that walks out the door? That’s why all decent airlines around the world make an effort to keep pilot turnover low.
This year will be another huge loss for the company in terms of pilot turnover. The industry is going very well with lots of airlines hiring, and many guys have applied elsewhere, with a large group shortlisted and waiting for the call up.
Ask any pilot to improve this situation so the company becomes a long term career option and they can solve this problem overnight.
Any suggestions made are ignored.
My daughter fresh out of uni with a business degree could manage the company better than it is at the moment and make it a place that pilots would be proud to work for.
The numbers. 80% per annum.
400% since inception.
HKA numbers much much higher than this.
You be the judge.
