How pathetic!
the airline has been named several times so i won't repeat... but if it is that crowd I find it hilarious that these complaints are coming from guys who crawled over each other to accept the WORST airline contracts in the EU, and then cry that they aren't able to just down tools and walk off without any consequences?! (for context I have several friends who fly there so I am not biased)
For all the keyboard lawyers out there they will of course have to confirm 'J worked at X from Y to Z', but they can take their time about it which may cause delays in the issuance of your airside pass in the future if you cannot contact anyone to see what is going on.
Pilots really are a self-entitled bunch
For comparison I work for a small UK company facing a similar exodus and we received a similar email a while back. Several guys walked out without notice and will obviously not be welcomed back should there new airlines ever spit them out.
So I rang my boss and said I would probably be leaving in 6 weeks and I would give him a months notice as soon as I had confirmation, he said thank you for the heads up and I am leaving on good terms. Is it that hard?
I'm about to sign a 3 year bond and i fully expect to have to pay up if I decide to bail before then
