Don't shoot the messenger
HKF
Just the facts…
At last count there were just as many ex-Dragon guys there, with yet another ex-Dragon A330 DEC joining soon. The new Chief Pilot, his deputy and the fleet manager are all ex- D and they prefer to employ their own. Some other management and checkie positions about to be filled by ex-D guys also.
AA pilots are the lowest paid A320/A330 pilots in Oz. There is no CPI, no bonus, no overtime, no union, barely a uniform (if you’re lucky) and they refuse to clean the aircraft and crewrooms, not even a rubbish bin for 200 crew.
The culture is punitive Dragon style, rife with cronyism, depressing due to the problems onboard the old aircraft and not financially secure. If anyone dares to speak up they are interrogated by the Jackboot Gestapo and told “Wenn Sie mögen es nicht, f**k off”
Aircraft are the oldest and filthiest in Oz and are clapped out.
All thick smoke and cracked mirrors, real shame as it could be good
