Makes you wonder why CSWAFC still do the right thing by their employees, while most other operators are still shafting and exploiting.
Full praise to CSWAFC, keep setting the good example!
Would'nt hurt a few of the other to follow suit! If only they knew, that doing the right and fair thing improves productivity and keeps staff morale at high levels! Makes for a more proffesional organisation.
Customers get deterred when they here whinging about pay and conditions, but you can hardly blame the pilot's, a lot of them are working in 3rd world conditions, some for free (which makes them slaves) and a lot of others for less than an unemployment benefit.
After forking out $30K, $40K, $50K, or even more, whatever the case may be, along with all the associated study, all to be spat out the other end to wind up as some gready operators lap dog, working for peanuts, and in some cases, just the shells of the peanuts!
I know a lot of people will say " If you can't handle the heat, then get out of the fire!". But I'm just like all those other's that are still hanging on by a thread of hope that maybe one day we will be able to claw our way from this deadly snake pit! And perhaps land a job, where we are respected a little, and are paid appropriately.
So much for all the B.S that flying schools feed their potential students when they're making inquiries. (All the airline ****!) I think most of them would make excellent Amway salesmen!
I see a lot of naive people fall victim too this trap!
How do these guy's (shonky operators) sleep at night?
