I think that most guys here have lost faith that rosters will improve by any degree if they suddenly find more pilots.
They will not because pilot welfare (and of course staff welfare in general) appears to be such a low priority that if they can possibly make their current pilot group work harder they will do, they simply do not seem to care about reasonable limits. If they could make guys work every day, they would. The fact that people might be unhappy and leave simply does not seem to concern them.
If new guys join, they will not help to improve rosters for the guys working here already, they will simply crew new routes and new aeroplanes, and will feel a bit dim for thinking that everyone's roster would get better because they'd joined...and for not listening to the pages and pages and pages of complaint threads that have started on this forum over the last year or so.
That's a shame because this place could so easily be the best airline in the world to work for, but unless they start to appreciate their crew it will continue to be an unhappy, demoralized workplace...and there seem to be no plans and no interest in changing this. Most worryingly, passengers seem to be noticing now. Flown a 380 recently? Never seen such disinterested or frazzled staff anywhere else!
