Busdriver, what you've just described is one aspect in the complete lack of integrity in this company.
Because there is absolutely no integrity from their side, whether it be in rostering, in negotiating, in fleet choice, in contract adherence…..basically any area you care to name, I see no reason why
we should have any integrity in
our dealings with them.
For this reason, I suggest that if you find yourself in the predicament of
"New Captains on 777, many years junior to me, are doubling their salaries every month on overtime, but doing half the work I am, sleeping twice as long, and have twice as many G days. It isn't a fair comparison, and everybody knows it."
then take the appropriate action to make it a fair comparison.
Eventually they may figure out that running an airline with 20% unfitness is not a productive way to run a business. Huge productivity gains could be realised if a collaborative, rather than combative, approach was adopted in their dealings with this pilot group.
