Precisely RAT 5.
When I think back to the beginning of my career, I hardly recognise my former self!
I used to be motivated and keen to progress my career, now I am basically waiting for retirement and hoping I make it through with a clean record. Airline management are very quick to crush your career when their KPI driven world comes crashing down around you; their error your fault.
In Australia the industry is being decimated by industrially motivated fragmentation of airlines into contractors, sub-contractors and sub-sub-contractors. Divide and conquer tactics have many guys and girls I work with living in constant fear of being undercut by the next bunch of desperados just trying to keep food on the table.
"We all need to provide efficiencies for airline XYZ, or we risk losing the contract" has become the most commonly uttered statement by management in recent years and it's putting huge pressure on everyone.
