Im starting to wish I had never asked the question now. .....
I'm off to slit my wrists, goodby cruel world
Stop worrying.... please don't base your opinion on TOM from two poster, both serial moaners on the private forum. If the company offered a 50% pay rise they would probably say they were holding out for 51!!
The company is going through a period of post merger change, our once great blue airline is under attack from some serious cost cutting. Its there job. They will be finished here in a couple of years and go to another formerly great airline and do the same. A big merry go round. Part of their job is to spread doom and gloom so the masses believe it and accept significant changes to their contract.
To give an example, our DFO addressed pilots and cabin crew on a business briefing and explained why huge cuts were needed to pay and conditions. He cited our recent poor results as the reason. Straight away a Captain quoted both the BBC and Reuters whom both reflected that our results were at the top of expectations and everything was looking good at TUI. Did he respond, did he heck!! It didn't suit his mantra.
TOM is an excellent company to work for, we have many ex Ryanair employees who find the tripe some of our serial moaners blurt out hugely comical. I say to the likes of Ella and 390, if you think Ryan is better, then bang in an application. But don't forget to get your credit card out first!
