Same old Atlantic. Always short term thinkers. Senior management think, "lets hammer down pay, conditions and show them what real hard work is about." To them you are White Van Man. Unskilled labour, toddling around the sunny sky, just putting in bare minimum effort. Thinking that pilots and engineers have no grasp on commercial reality and the pressures that drive the company. The senior management were always detached from the reality of the business at the front line. They don't see that the heart of Atlantic, is engineers and pilots out there on the line, going the extra mile, giving the commercial types an unbeatable product to sell.
To be honest, leavers probably are going to end up just as fed up in the desert or wherever they go. Management will probably try the old trick of not bothering to replace them until the company is undercrewed to meltdown point. I hear that now they want to bring in the pay for type rating/will fly for food mob.
The sad thing is that by constantly trying to screw their people, Atlantic, will break down the will to go the extra mile and Atlantic, will be nothing. Who will this benefit?
