Never got called on days OFF, never got a single threatening email, i've always been asked if i "could" do this or that and whenever i said no, well, nothing happened, nobody fired me and still happy and flying.
Don't know if in the past was like Syntax and Plastic are saying, i have no reason to do not believe what you guys say, but these days situation seems to be quite different from the way you draw it. Probably because they realized they lost a lot of people, looking for higher salaries and being closer to home, and now they try to deal with pilots, can't speak for cabin crew, in a better way.
Not saying it is a dream company, no one is, but far away to be nowadays the scarying and sad place you guys depict.
