"Dear Pilots,
I would like to extend my sincerest appreciation to all pilots for their hard work and dedication during the peak summer months and thereafter. Pilots were forced to give up their leave, their commitments to their families and some were asked to fly on days off in order to cover the shortage and continue the day to day operations of the airline. This kind of commitment is highly appreciated and will not go unnoticed".
So, as it didnīt go unnoticed, we will repeat the experience for November and December!
Thank you very much for the appreciation. Such a basic kind of introduction for a letter, seems to be written for kids.
"However, due to many contributory factors leading to the declining pilot numbers, we are forced to cancel pilots leaves"
Would you mind to enumerate which factors? Donīt worry we know better than you, but basically is a major luck of plannification, a poor managment with a null vision of what is going to happen in two weeks time.
All of a sudden: "We have a total of 32 training pilots on all the fleets and this number needs to be increased to 60" From one day to another they need to double the training pilots.
Of course, the prize for that effort: "Pilots who have dedicated their time and gone the extra mile to help the airline during this time of need will be considered for the selection process of training captains (SFIs)".
Donīt worry guys, it would have been enough with a gold coin of chocolate.
The company is the one who has to help and support the pilots, it shouldnīt be the other way round, can you see that?
Always the same old story!
